First Piece: Always
--
Sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered / And there's nowhere to turn / You wonder how you keep going
Think of all the things that really mattered / And the chances you've earned / The fire in your heart is growing
You can fly, if you try leaving the past behind / Heaven only knows what you might find
Dare - dare to believe you can survive / You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive / It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare

"Bio-Merge Activate!"
** Digimon, Special Digivolution Music:
"Digi-Rap" **
"Veemon,
Bio-Merge to... Imperialdramon!!"
"Hawkmon, Bio-Merge to... Valkyrimon!!"
"Gatomon, Bio-Merge to... Magnadramon!!"
"Armadillomon, Bio-Merge to... Vikemon!!"
"Patamon, Bio-Merge to... Seraphimon!!"
Rika and Ryo both pull out their Digivices simultaneously, Rika's D-Arc and Ryo's D-Scanner.
"Ready?" she asks. Ryo runs a hand through his hair and smirks.
"Always, pumpkin," he replies, eliciting a smile from the Digimon Queen.
"Heh," says Rika, raising the D-Arc into the air, "Bio-Merge Activate!"
"Spirit Evolution!"
**Digimon, Season 3, Bio-Merge Digivolution music**
"Ryo, Spirit Evolve to…Justimon!!"
"Renamon, Bio-Merge to…Sakuyamon!!"
"A-amazing!" exclaims TK from within his green sphere, "Patamon…have we become one? Are we really Seraphimon?"
"I…I think we are!" his partner replies in the voice of his rookie form.
Yolei floated leisurely in her own space, feeling the power flow through her as she says, "Hawkmon…I feel so strong! I feel as if I can beat the whole Digital World all by my self!"
"Don't get carried away there, my dear," Hawkmon replies, "I'm sure you don't want to take on the entire Digital World alone, do you?"
"No, of course not. But…I feel so safe now, like nothing can touch me. We're perfect!" cheers Yolei with a smile.
Kari looks around her own pink Digi-Sphere in awe. Although she'd been transformed into a giant quadruped dragon, she felt totally comfortable, as if nothing had changed.
"I'm…Magnadramon?" she wonders aloud.
"We're Magnadramon," Gatomon's voice reminds her, emanating from all directions.
Cody looks at his hands and tightens them into fists. Now that he is Vikemon, he feels as if he really can help his friends. That he is, for the first time in his life, truly strong. Cody can feel Armadillomon's presence in the yellow Digi-Sphere, enveloping and encompassing him.
"Armadillomon! This is just incredible!" yells Cody excitedly.
"No kiddin' Cody. I feel like a million bucks!" the Digimon replies, the same excitement in his voice as well.
Davis is silent. The power that he could feel flowing through him was much greater than anyone could easily comprehend. Finally, he is able to bring his feelings to words: "Veemon…is this what you feel when you DNA Digivolve with Wormmon?"
"I…don't know. This feels so familiar, but at the same time it is completely new," Veemon replies. Sakuyamon quickly floats up above the group, looking up towards the giant glowing AT field above Infinity Mountain.
"Are you guys ready?" she asks, looking back towards the others. Everyone nods in affirmation.
"All right! Let's finish this!" yells Justimon as the seven Mega-level Digimon leap into the air, although Vikemon has to be carried up on Imperialdramon's back.
"POSITRON LASER!!" yells the Ancient Dragon Digimon, firing the powerful beam at the AT Field's weak point and blasting a large hole right through the purple globe's outer shell. Sakuyamon enters first, not waiting for the smoke or debris to clear, quickly followed by everyone else.
Unnoticed by anyone, a familiar person watches the seven Megas' entrance from within his own Mekanorimon.
"So, it's started," whispers Gennai, his hands gripping the Mekanorimon's control sticks tightly, "I'd better hurry!" He pushes both control sticks forward and the Digimon puts on the afterburners, rushing towards the battlefield. But…time is not his side.
--
"Whoa…" says Imperialdramon, almost in awe. Before the group, in the center of the violet globe, two hulking beasts of enormous power grapple. Bolts of electricity erupt from their intertwined fists, arcing across their bodies and the inner shell of the field as they glare at each other menacingly.
"ExMilleniumon," mutters Justimon, referring to the Digimon on the right.
"Who is he fighting?" asks Vikemon just as a window, similar to those used by the Digidestined during the Diaboromon incident, appears before them. Sakuyamon immediately recognizes the face in the window, and becomes furious.
"PENN!!" she howls, charging at the window and trying to punch his grinning face, but it disappears before she can connect.
"My, my, watch your temper, Rika," Penn says mockingly, the window reappearing a short distance away, "I'm sure you don't want me to delete one of your little friends now, do you?"
"Penn! What have you done with all of the Digimon?!" yells Valkyrimon angrily, raising his fist towards the maniac's grinning visage.
"Oh, I've done nothing. But, my Pentamon is not as innocent as I…" he replies with a mischievous grin that clearly gives away is guilt.
"Pentamon?" Justimon asks, "So that's the identity of our mystery Mega."
"What have you done, Penn? Where are the Digimon?!" continues Valkyrimon, the anger of the human within building rapidly. The young man grins.
"Absorbed," Penn simply replies. This is enough to put even Sakuyamon into shock.
"All of them?!!" she screams. Inside the Mega, Rika's eyes widen with the utter shock of the reply. Was it even possible? How could anything do that?!
"No…" whispers Magnadramon, "Tentomon…Gabumon…Palmon…"
"Grr…you MONSTER!" shouts Seraphimon furiously, "SEVEN HEAVENS!!"
Seven globes of multi-colored energy soar towards the window, which disappears once again before they can impact. Suddenly, an echoing laugh can be heard by the Digidestined and Tamers, emanating from all directions…or is it within their minds?
"Idiots…do you really think attacking that window will affect anything? I own this world, and I own all of you. After all of the planning I've put into this, do you really believe I'm just going to let you kill Pentamon and ruin everything?"
"You're not God, Penn," mutters Sakuyamon.
"Yes I am! Here, I am the Supreme Being, the creator and destroyer of all things! Let me demonstrate my power…"
In the space before the seven Megas, a million points of light appear. From those million points, a million demon-like Digimon seem to grow from thin air! The devilish beasts are clad in black leather with red highlights, and are covered in runic symbols that defy meaning. Each one eyes the Megas hungrily.
"Let me introduce another of my great creations! WarDevimon, an Ultimate-level Virus type. Their special attack is Banshee Scream…and they're just dying to try it on you! Of course, they also have a voracious hunger that can only be sated by feeding upon whatever I can provide for them."
"Uh…guys? I think we're outnumbered…" says Imperialdramon, wincing at the thought of being eaten alive.
"There may be a lot of them, but their programming can't be very complex," Justimon says confidently, "Otherwise so many of them wouldn't have been made so easily. It won't be hard to outsmart them."
"We'll see about that…WarDevimon, attack!"
And with that order the countless hoards of WarDevimon, beasts that look like a godforsaken fusion of Devimon and Beelzemon, charge through the air towards the seven Megas.
"Okay, this is it," says Justimon, his right arm transforming into a kind of heat blade as Imperialdramon quickly flies ahead of the group.
"Heh…you know what? I don't think you freaks realize whom you're dealing with," Davis says with a smirk from within the Mega, "POSITRON LASER!!" Instead of the powerful beam that he had used before, Imperialdramon fires a series of weaker blasts at rapid-fire speed, which gives the impression of a machine gun. Within seconds, the attack mows down many of the WarDevimon directly in front of the group, but the horde only moves to fill the hole in their ranks. With a roar from the mighty Ancient Dragon, the Megas charge into battle against the demonic army.
Justimon charges forward, impaling a WarDevimon on his heat blade before slashing up and slicing the upper half of the Ultimate in two. He spins around and slashes again, freeing another WarDevimon's legs from the rest of its body. Again and again, with every swipe of his blade Justimon maims and kills another of these abominations.
"Die…die…die, you monsters!" mutters the Legendary Tamer, as one of the WarDevimon pounces upon his back, digging its razor-sharp claws into Justimon's armored chest.
"AURVANDIL'S ARROW!!"
The arrow pierces the WarDevimon's back exactly between its two tattered, bat-like wings, passing through its leather jacket and out the monster's chest as it slowly falls to its death.
"Thanks!" Justimon yells, quickly spinning and slashing another Digimon that had been coming up behind him.
"No problem…!" replies Valkyrimon, brandishing his sword and parrying a slash by another of the many virus-type Digimon. A well-placed kick sends the WarDevimon into another of its brethren.
"Bingo!" cheers Valkyrimon, just as another WarDevimon swoops in from behind and viciously bites into his neck. Without a second though, Valkyrimon pulls off an old-fashioned Judo move, grabbing the WarDevimon's arm and flipping it over him. The monster quickly turns back towards its opponent, only to meet the deadly end of Valkyrimon's sword.
"FENRIR SWORD!!" the Mega howls, beheading the demon. Valkyrimon charges forward towards a group of three WarDevimon, and with great finesse, slashes them all with the Fenrir Sword.
"AURAVANDIL'S ARROW!!" yells Valkyrimon, sending another arrow across the battlefield, and plunging it into the chest of a WarDevimon that had been charging at Seraphimon. But, despite the assistance, that single arrow doesn't stop the other four Digimon that had been charging him from four different directions. Thinking fast, the Seraphim warrior flies straight up, putting the WarDevimon behind him and in hot pursuit.
"Faster, Patamon, faster!" TK thinks from within the Digimon, as three more WarDevimon appear ahead of him, diving straight down at the Mega in a V-formation.
"Grr…" growls Seraphimon, "Go back to hell!" The Seraphim punches the lead WarDevimon in the pack flying down towards him, the speed of the collision forcing his fist through its gut and out the demon's back, deleting it instantly. With amazing speed, Seraphimon kicks one of the deceased's wingmen into the other, sending them off into oblivion as the four pursuing WarDevimon fly past since they are unable to stop in time.
Seraphimon looks towards the four WarDevimon, powerful energy coursing throughout his body, and shouts, "SEVEN HEAVENS!!" The seven globes of energy soar through the empty space and quickly slam into two of the WarDevimon, killing them instantaneously. A third tries to dodge, only getting hit in the arm, but is unable to avoid another globe that collides with his face. Only one WarDevimon survives, charging towards Seraphimon while screeching an unearthly howl.
"DIE!!" cries Seraphimon as his opponent slashes at him. The Mega raises an arm, successfully deflecting the attack and returning the punishment with a punch to the WarDevimon's stomach. Again and again, faster and faster, Seraphimon pummels the demon with his fists until the blue armor is stained crimson. A single kick into the Digimon's jaw sends the limp body to its fated demise.
"TK…calm down, you won't be able to fight well if your mind is clouded with anger," says Patamon, the Digimon's voice echoing within the Digi-Sphere. TK closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Despite still having the voice of his rookie form, Patamon seems to have gotten much wiser now that he's become a Mega.
"Your right, Patamon. I'll try to keep myself under control," the boy replies. Seraphimon quickly spins and kicks another enemy in the chest, sending it flying backwards. Suddenly it stops, impaled upon Sakuyamon's staff. She quickly pulls it out of the WarDevimon's back smashes the top down on the monster's head, deleting it immediately.
"There are too many!" Sakuyamon mutters as another enemy grabs her leg from below and tries to drag her down. With lethal efficiency, the Digimon Queen stabs the pointed tip of the staff straight down into the monster's head before kicking the corpse away with her other leg. Looking behind her, Sakuyamon spots a group of WarDevimon closing in on her.
"SPIRIT STRIKE!!" she yells, as the ghostly forms of three foxes soar towards her desired targets, each spirit killing two or more WarDevimon.
"Rika, this battle is too chaotic. We have to get out of this mob or we'll tire out," says Renamon. Inside her Digi-Sphere, Rika nods in agreement.
"Right. These stupid WarDevimon are getting in our way!" Rika replies angrily, noticing several more of the aforementioned Digimon coming near. Showing off her agility and skill, Sakuyamon spins her staff above her head and slashes the pointed tip across her enemies' chests before finishing them off with another spirit strike.
"We need to reach Pentamon…but how?" whispers Sakuyamon.
