A/N: Happy New Year! Happy 2018, Year of the Dog!
But this story isn't about a dog sadly, but a cat, which is not part of the Chinese Zodiac (no thanks to a dirty rat).
Anywho, Digimon Fusion Ascendancy has gotten a few reviews. Better than none. That's a good sign.
As of this point, we continue the Battle of Digital Gods arc. This is an exact reposting of Chapter 1 from my fanfic movie of the same name. Care to spot any subtle differences in dialogue if there are any?
Enjoy.

Arc I: Battle of Digital Gods
Chapter II: Beerusmon's Awakening

Other World/X's Planet
Emerging from X's mansion, Tai was decked out in his fighting fear and Agumon was walking out eating an onigiri.
X gaped upon seeing his former student fully geared up. "Um, Tai, why are you dressed in your gear?"
"So, a Digital God of Destruction has gotta be strong, right?!"
"Well, duh," X shrugged. "It's part of his job requirement."
"I can't wait to see what he's made of!" Tai said ecstatically while stretching his legs. "I haven't had a good fight since beating D-Reaper!"
"Same here! I'm up for a challenge, Tai!" Agumon chirped excitedly.
"Are you two brain dead?!" X spat out.
The Bearer of Courage scoffed and pouted. "Why? What did I do?"
"Weren't you two even listening to half of the things I just freaking said?! Beerusmon the Destroyer is the strongest destructive force in the known Digiverse! It's part of his title! His power is in a whole other dimension you two couldn't even comprehend! He's so moody he'd wipe out a cluster of galaxies if someone even gives him a funny look! Even the Supreme Digi-Deity peed his pants seeing the destruction he brought to the quadrants!" He watched Tai and Agumon grinning together and chuckling. "Hey, are you two clowns even listening?!"
"Yeah, we did hear the part about him being the strongest," Tai replied. "Agumon and I can't wait!"

Unknown Sector of the Digiverse/Beerusmon's Domain
Far off from the five Digital Realms and beyond hundreds of galaxy networks was a dimension beyond any other. It was a dimension beyond the likes of which no lower deities have ever dared to cross. Beyond a huge dust of galactic dust was a floating fortress that resembled an upside down Japanese palace. On top of this upside floating structure were tufts of green plants and a massive tree trunk situated on the center. Several planetoids appeared at the backdrop of the floating fortress. And on this tree are archaic temple-like structures.
All seemed tranquil until...
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted, tearing through several of these structures and causing a flock of birds to fly away fearfully.
Inside the tree-like structure was a sea of crystals where a shadow passed by. The shadow belonged to a lanky individual passing by. Stepping out through the shadows is a teal-skinned man with white hair and rather effeminate features, especially around the face. A large light blue ring adorned his neck. His outfit was elaborate: a maroon robe, a black cuirass consisted of the colors white and orange, and a blue sash. He has on black high-heeled shoes with white spats.
As he passed by, debris fell from the ceiling and into a seemingly bottomless pit. He walked right into a spacious room with a massive hourglass. Smoke from more fallen debris covered the room, causing the teal-skinned man to cover his mouth.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Beerus' Tea Time)
"Lord Beerusmon, it's time to wake up!" The man spoke in an elaborate and regal-like tone.
Just then, a pair of long purple ears jutted up and twitched.
"And please don't fall back asleep. Recall, it was you that set the alarm clock to go off at this time. I'd really hate to see you fall asleep waiting for one of your back-up alarms..."
Several hourglass encased in bubbles lit up and exploded all at once, setting off a chain reaction and causing more to explode. The explosions doubled as the back-up alarms, which finally awoke a sleeping purple cat-like humanoid garbed in a white nightgown. He looked like a Cornish Rex.
"Ugh, fine, Whismon! I'm up!"
"I just don't want you to sleep another 15 digital cycles too late and waking up all groggy like the last time. But, if you require a little more coddling," Whismon smirked as he magically produced a karaoke microphone. "I'm always happy to show off my vocal range with a singing performance to arouse you. Lalala!" As he started singing, a high-pitched screech echoed from the mike, annoying Beerusmon further.
"I SAID I'M UP!"
Beerusmon slowly rose from his floating bed groaning. "But, it's so warm and cozy!" He raised his head with eyes still firmly shut. He flipped over and fell on a floating rock beneath his bed. He worm crawled over the rock, falling on another rock. He did a backward moonwalk and fell on another. He walked, still with eyes shut, over another floating rock until he was walking on thin air.
Then, in true Looney Tunes fashion, he tapped the thin air and fell several feet to the ground.
Splat!
Beerusmon crawled out from the ground and rolled over to Whismon. He yawned showing off his teeth and licking his right hand like the feline he was.
"To count as true restful slumber, I need at least 50 digital cycles. 39 is a little more than a catnap!"
"Lord Beerusmon, it was you who requested this wake-up time. And if I may ask, why did you choose this date?"
"Something I need to check for myself," Beerusmon answered with one yellow eye open.
"Well, in any case, I've already prepared a bath for you. Go on before it gets cold."
Beerusmon then fell back laying down and scratching himself with a hind leg. "I'd rather not. You know I hate baths."
"But, you're covered in filth from those explosions! And after your nap, I'm sure you got mold in your ears," Whismon then gave a forceful tone. "Bath now."
"And if I refuse?"
"Well, that Beerusmon the Destroyer may be powerful, but boy does he stink up a room!" The adviser covered his nose. "Then, they'll have to call you the Destroyer of Good Hygiene."
"Whismon, your pitiful attempts at humor make me wanna go back to sleep," Beerusmon looked over his shoulder smiling devilishly at Whismon. "Maybe I oughta destroy you."

Beerusmon and Whismon sat together at a table with plates of food that could've been for twenty. The food mainly consisted of seafood, including Crabmon, Coelamon, Ebidramon, and some generic sea animals. There was a tall stand with greens and shrimps dunked in sauce. In the background was a large aquarium filled with fish type Digimon swimming by.
"I'm curious, Whismon, while I enjoyed my all too brief slumber, did that upstart Burizalor manage to eradicate that Digital World in the Northern Digital Realm? You know the one with those Digital Knights?"
"Yes," Whismon answered while cutting some meat. "Without a trace."
"Good to know. I could've given all those meddlesome knights an eternity to shape up, but they'd still be nothing but trouble. I would've been happy to blow the whole planet up myself, but it's so off the beaten path, wouldn't you agree? I'm no fan of Burizalor neither!" Beerusmon scoffed, picking up some of the meat Whismon cut for him. "Such a self-important fool. If we ever cross paths again, I'll gladly wipe the entitled little bugger out." He swallowed the meat in one gulp.
"Unlikely I'm afraid. While during your nap, someone already defeated Burizalor."
Upon hearing this, Beerusmon nearly choked but swallowed. "WHAT?!" He spat out. "Someone more powerful than Burizalor?!"
(End theme)
"Allow me to explain," Whismon said, producing a long scepter with a gem floating above it. He tapped the ground with it, making several green projectiles encompass the entire dinner room. One projectile floated over and formed a visual, showing off the legendary battle from Planet Spira.
It displayed Tai and Agumon combining to become the Ascendant Omega X.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Beerus' Planet)
"Funny, this strangely looks familiar. Who were those two that formed into a man with golden hair with orange?"
"He is an Ascendant," Whismon confirmed. "He answers to the names Taichi Kamiya, Agumon, and Omega X. He is in fact one of the original Eight Chosen Children and bearer of the Crest of Courage."
The visual showed Omega X engaging Burizalor in the opening round of their final duel on Planet Spira. Beerusmon meticulously watched Omega X fiercely clobbering Burizalor.
"When you said the Digital Knight Council's world was destroyed, I assumed the same went with the Ascendants."
"Yes, it's true the Ascendant army Gennai and his forces amassed were wiped out. However, a few happened to appear on other worlds at the time were spared. Most of these remaining Ascendants happen to be part of the collective Chosen Children, including the warrior you see here."
"Is Ascendant hair supposed to be gold? I must say I'm surprised an Ascendant was capable of defeating Burizalor," Beerusmon said, tapping an egg and making it dissolve into sand.
"Well, the Ascendants have harnessed a technique. It's a potent method of powering up into these golden-haired warriors that you now see."
"What was that?" Beerusmon asked half-asleep. He moved around his chair aimlessly. "Ascendant you say? Ascendant, eh? Ah, Ascendant!" He paused and gawked with mouth wide open. "That's it! That's exactly what it was!"
"You've lost me."
"Let's see it was Ascendant something... Oh! An Ascendant God! Yes!" Beerusmon floated over in front of Whismon's face. "I had a dream about it!" He floated back over to the visual showing Omega X vs. Burizalor. "It was a vivid dream! I fought against an Ascendant God that looked just like this guy!"
"Oh?"
"You know what it was, right? It was a premonition! A PREMONITION!"
"Are you sure it wasn't just a dream?" Whismon asked, slamming his staff and magically causing the visual to fade off. "Forgive me, but your premonitions... they haven't been exactly accurate, haven't they?"
"Ugh!" Beerusmon scowled, sitting back down in his floating chair.
Whismon whispered into the Digital God's ear. "If you recall, that premonition about that pop star... what's her name Britney didn't exactly come to pass."
"You're mocking me, aren't you?" Beerusmon hopped off his chair and walked off. "Fine! Come with me, Whismon!"

(Cue Dragon Ball Z OST - Beerus Theme by The EnigmaTNG)
Walking out from their palace, Beerusmon and Whismon took a stroll across a road stretched across a meadow full of beautiful flowers. Beerusmon came out now decked in his regular garb. He comes out donning black, blue, and gold Egyptian-looking garb with the same white and orange diamond embellishments just like Whismon.
"Oh Seermon!" Beerusmon beckoned to a named individual. "Seermon, where are you?!"
Suddenly, a sparkle appeared and shooting down from above was something letting out a high-pitched screech. It hit the ground hard causing the Digi-Deities to look down. They saw a scepter with an small aquarium on top of it with blue eel-like fish with big eyes and pink lips.
"I was taking a walk. What is it?" The tiny fish demanded.
"39 digital cycles ago, did you not prophesied that in 39 digital cycles time that an arch rival worthy of me would appear?"
"Hmmm?" The fish gave it some thought. "Did I say that?"
"Yes, that's what you said."
"Uh, oh yes I did!"
"Heh, hear that? The Seermon prophecy confirms my premonition! An arch rival of mine would reveal itself soon! And he shall be an Ascendant God!"
"Sounds rather far-fetched to me," Whismon replied nonchalantly. "It's difficult to imagine one such as yourself of having an arch rival, Lord Beerusmon."
The purple feline humanoid hopped on several rocks and landed on top of a tall rock column.
"Well even if the Oracle Fish exaggerated the strength of this particular being, a worthy adversary is surely due to emerge and that's why I prematurely awoke from my slumber!"
"Ah, I see. That solves one mystery. I take it you intend to pay a visit to these Ascendants?"
"Of course I do. I must track down these so-called Ascendant Gods."
"Ascendant Gods, Ascendant Gods," Whismon repeated the purple feline's mantra. "Such a grandiose and over-the-top name. Sounds tacky if you ask me." He glared into the gem atop of his staff, which displayed the whole Digiverse. He zoomed in past thousands of digital galaxies and finally located the central Digital World of the Eastern Realm. "And I've located them. It would appear that most of the surviving Ascendants... by my count... nine of them are currently in 40323 on Planet 877. It's the Central Digital World connected to a physical world called Earth."
"Is that right?" Beerusmon smirked. "I'm sure I've been to that Digital World before. Though, it's been a while. Wasn't it the one with all those dinosaur type Digimon with their high and mighty attitude problems? They were so rude, I drive them to extinction!"
Surely someone neglected to tell him a few survived with thousands of descendants still running around. Whismon chortled in thought. "Now this is odd. One of them, the same Ascendant that defeated Burizalor, is currently on the planet once ruled by former Watcher, Simms, and an individual named X has taken over since. He and his partner Agumon are both there for some reason."
"An Ascendant in a Watcher's realm is quite suspicious. What could it mean?" Beerusmon floated down with Whismon. "Tell me, Whismon. How long would it take us to get there?"
"Roughly 26 minutes."
"So roughly the same length as your average anime episode. Augh, I hate long flights! But, eh, what choice is there? I'll suck it up and go."
"Ok! We'll depart at once!" Whismon said with a happy smile. "To the planet of the Watcher X!"
Beerusmon spun around and walked over to him dancing like an Egyptian. "Oh yeah!"
With that, Whismon tapped the ground with this staff as a golden ring of light formed under them. The golden right enveloped them them and shot them up through the sky, sending them flying out of their realm and through the digital galaxies beyond.

Digital World/File Island/Outside a beach resort/9:30 AM
(Cue Summer Wars OST – OZ, the Virtual City (0:21-2:53))
Meanwhile, in a beach resort on a much more expanded File Island, a big birthday celebration was being thrown in honor of one of the original eight Digidestined. Digidestined and Digimon alike came not only to celebrate this one's birthday but celebrate a big reunion.
"Ok, guys! On my count!" A voice belonging to Kari announced. "One, two, three!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMI!" Everyone present shouted in unison, lifting glasses of juice, wine, cola, and water to toast one Bearer of Sincerity.
Sitting in an elaborate chair built by the Gekomon and Otamamon was Mimi Tachikawa. The young adult woman, garbed in a sparkling green dress, pink scarf, and brown boots, raised a glass of red wine and happily smiled. She had her hair down, albeit cut a little shorter, and dyed pink. Hanging around her neck is a makeshift Crest of Sincerity inside a crest locket, which was a gift from her parents.
"You're all so kind!" Mimi said, standing up and downing her wine.
"This is your birthday, Meems!" Palmon cheered. "The Gekomon and Otamamon really went all out making a throne for you!"
"Really takes me back to Princess Mimi," Joe muttered, shuddering quietly. He was dressed in a dark blue suit and pants with a shorter haircut.
"Least she won't order our heads cut off," Gomamon joked.
"Don't even joke, Gomamon."
There was a large gathering of guests in attendance. The guests, of course, included all the other Digidestined and their Digimon partners (minus Tai, Agumon, Matt, and Gabumon), Mimi's parents, BanchoLeomon, Keke, Tike, Kara, David, Sam, BW, Pikkan, Sonja, and Sheila, Mummymon was also present with his daughter Meryl, Arukenimon, Salamon, and D-Reaper. The Scooby Digi-Destined (Jun Motomiya & Kotemon, Jim Kido & Hagurumon, Mantarou Inoue & Bearmon, Momoe Inoue & Mikemon, and Chizuru Inoue & Lalamon) came as well. Gennai, Simms, Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Falcomon, Dianamon, Minervamon, Calumon, Impmon, Piximon, Centarumon, Andromon, Elecmon, Meramon, Unimon, Frigimon, Sukamon & Chuumon, the Gekomon & Otamamon crew, and ShogunGekomon were also present. Whamon was seen poking his head out of the ocean and watching the festivities. Digitamamon, Vegimon, and Tapirmon catered the delicious meals to the guests.
"A toast to our little girl!" Kesuke, Mimi's father, raised a glass to his daughter.
"Our baby girl has grown to much!" Satoe, Mimi's mother, wept proudly and snapped pictures of Mimi posing a model-like pose with her wine glass. "Heheh!"
"Happy birthday, Mimi!" Keke clapped for her future mother.
Izzy came dressed in a white dress shirt complete with blue tie and khaki pants. Tentomon sat next to him devouring cheese and bread.
Sora came dressed in a Chinese-styled red dress and black flat shoes. Biyomon was next to her sipping tea.
TK was fully dressed in a long-sleeved green shirt, blue jean pants, and a white hat. Patamon was sitting next to him chomping on a sandwich.
Now sporting longer hair tied in double buns, Kari came in a pink dress, white gloves, and clear high heels. Gatomon sat in her lap clapping for Mimi.
Davis was dressed in a blue suit coupled with beige pants and brown dress shoes. Veemon was sitting next to him eating a large chicken drumstick.
Yolei, wearing her hair in braids, came dressed in a purple dress, long lavender gloves, and white high heels. Hawkmon was seated in her lap.
Cody came dressed in a purple Chinese long coat and two long strands of braided hair hanging down his back. Sitting on the floor with him was Armadillomon.
Ken came dressed in a black dress shirt complete with red tie, black dress pants, and black shoes. Wormmon sat on his lap eating bread.
Keke came fully dressed in a pink Chinese-style dress with white flat shoes.
Tike came dressed in a white shirt coupled with blue jean overalls and tennis shoes.
Kara wore a pink dress with her fisherman's hat and red dress shoes.
David came dressed in a blue suit with a red bow tie, blue shorts, and tennis shoes, similar to Conan Edogawa from Detective Conan.
Sam was dressed in a white Chinese-style shirt & gray pants along as well as black shoes.
Sonja came wearing a long-sleeved purple shirt, white jeans, and white shoes.
BW came dressed in a black dress shirt with a yellow tie, dark gray pants, and black dress shoes.
BanchoLeomon, Pikkan, and Sheila came dressed in their usual gear. The others wore dress styled clothes for the birthday occasion.
While the adults and teens sat (or stood around) conversing, Tike, Kara, David, Meryl, and Salamon ran around playing tag.
"Say, Mimi, you said Dimitri, Karin, and Athena couldn't make it?" Yolei asked the birthday girl.
"Yeah, they already came to see me yesterday to celebrate my birthday. Then, they left to see the future me apparently this morning," Mimi replied, genuinely smiling. "We had a great dinner and little Athena's such a sweetheart to her grandma. She's been raised to be a little princess thanks to her mom, Neo-Queen Serenity, and Chibiusa."
"At least they made the time," TK stated. "It's good Dimitri is doing well making a living and sharing a condo with Karin? They're moving up!"
"Celebrating your birthday as well as your future self's birthday, huh? That's very nice of them," Palmon nodded in approval.
"What can I say? My birthday should be celebrated all over dimensions! Whether it's me or my future counterpart!" Mimi let out a haughty laugh. "Ohohoho!"
"Um, about others not coming," Kari walked over and whispered in Mimi's ear.
"WHAT?! Not coming?!" Mimi yelled as she made a irked face. She tapped her fingers on her seat arms. "What would he and Agumon be doing training on X's planet during my birthday party?! Heck, why doesn't X bring his sorry masked butt over here, too?"
Sighing, Keke chimed in. "I told X to come, but he insisted he wouldn't leave until Tai and Agumon do."
"Really, Mimi? Did you even need to ask that?" BanchoLeomon added.
"Those battle junkies, I swear," Sheila mumbled.
"Ugh, seriously!" Mimi scoffed, shaking her wine glass. "Couldn't those two guys just take a break from all that training for one day?"
"I apologize for my brother and Agumon," Kari sweatdropped.
"You have nothing to apologize for her, Kari honey."
Gatomon blinked as she noticed two other absentees. "Say, where are Matt and Gabumon?"
"Looks like he's off training, too," the irked Bearer of Sincerity remarked. "Sometimes I even wonder if that Yamato persona is gone, because that old habit of training won't go away." She leaned her face on her hand and sighed deeply. "I've just about had it with Ascendants."
Both Kari and Keke sweatdropped and chuckled modestly.
"Not you girls, I mean the boys."
"I hope they can at least make it," Palmon said.
"MIMI!" A pair of voices called out, alarming the Bearer of Sincerity.
Both Mimi and Palmon turned around to see Sukamon and Chuumon blowing kisses to them. The girl and her plant Digimon gave awkward glances.
"Say, if that Matt guy ain't here, maybe we can give you a birthday kiss!" Sukamon licked his disgusting lips as a long tongue came hanging out.
Chuumon hopped up and down on Sukamon's head. "Give us a kiss!"
"No!" Mimi and Palmon gave them strawberry blows. "Pffft!"
"Awww, ain't she a gal?!" Sukamon said, acting like a lovesick puppy with his eyes turning to hearts.
"And Palmon's a cutie, too!" Chuumon whistled.
In another table, Mummymon cut himself meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He and Arukenimon shared wine together.
"Isn't this teriyaki just to die for, Mummymon?" The spider woman asked, patting her cheek while blushing.
"Indeed, my love..." Mummymon answered as he turned over to D-Reaper, who with poor table manners devoured big dumplings. "Enjoying the meal. Dee?"
"Mmmhmm!" D-Reaper replied whilst munching dumplings. He turned and saw Meryl hopping over to grab some dumplings.
"I'll take some, Dee! Is that ok?"
D-Reaper nodded as the child ran off eating three dumplings and feeding two more to Salamon.
"She's sure a growing girl," Mummymon observed Meryl. Then, he saw Tike tapping her shoulder. "It's that boy again."
"What about him?" Arukenimon asked.
"Nothing. He's just been getting too close to my Meryl," Mummymon muttered, displaying his overprotective father nature.
Meryl and Salamon bolted after Tike continuing their game of tag.
"Is it just me or has Tike been getting chummy with Mummymon's daughter?" Biyomon watched the kids.
"Now that you mention it," Sora smirked. "Tike has been taking her out to fly."
"You think Tai and Agumon will make it?"
"Who knows? But, I have my hopes they will."
Meanwhile, a few of the guests approached Mimi and conversed.
Davis leaned forward, whispering. "Say, between you and me Mimi, just how old are you today?"
Veemon chimed in, snickering. "You're not ashamed to tell us, right?"
"Like I'd tell you two! Never ask a woman that!"
Sonja leaned over and whispered to Mimi. "Is it true that the prizes in the bingo tournament will include a 1967 Chevrolet Impala, a nice convertible, a private luxury jet, and a first class trip for two to Hawaii?"
"Yep! But if it's too much trouble, Tony can help provide cash instead."
Yolei asserted herself. "What are the perks of having a wealthy family on top of having extra deep pockets from one of the richest men in the world, my boss, Tony Stark! Mr. Time Magazine Person of the Year!"
Tony chuckled as he heard Mimi and Yolei mention him. "Hey, it's nothing, ladies. Nothing that Iron Man can't handle now."
"You're a hero just like us now, Tony!" Davis said.
The CEO of Stark Enterprises shrugged, sipping his wine. "Well, there's the matter of putting a team together. Something to help me contain that Hulk monster and finding out more what went on with some otherworldly stuff in New Mexico recently."
Pepper whispered. "Psst, they're not listening, Tony."
"Well, I don't expect them to."
"We are! Tell us more about this team you're assembling, Tony!" Davis and Veemon asked.
"Heh, well it's still in the works, guys."
"Tai has to at least make it for the bingo tournament," Sora hoped.
"You don't suppose those prizes are pornographic magazines?" Simms asked.
Mimi sighed, her tone exuding annoyance. "No!"

Other World/X's Planet/9:50 AM
Suddenly, it had just dawned on both Tai and Agumon. Tai threw his head up and yelled out at the base of his voice.
"AHHH! NO! NO!" Tai screamed for his dear life, which alarmed X.
"What?! Is he here?" X bolted out from his mansion to see Tai and Agumon both distressed for no reason.
"It's not that!" Agumon exclaimed.
"It's Mimi's birthday party today and I totally forgot all about it!"
Upon hearing this, X facefaulted in the middle of his run and groaned.
"Oh man! This is bad, X! She's gonna be pissed!" Tai shuddered fearfully.
X propped himself back up. "Don't scare me like that, Tai! My heart almost exploded!"
"But, you don't know how she gets."
"Believe me I do, Tai. I didn't forget, but the only reason why I'm still here is because you and Agumon have been using my planet to train. I can't leave here unattended, but luckily Simms is at the party and I can ask him to cover for me here while I go with you two."
"Thanks, X, sheesh I don't know who'd be scarier! This destroyer guy or Mimi when she's mad!"
Agumon shuddered. "I'd go with the latter, Tai. Definitely the latter."
Just then, X paused and sensed an immense presence closing in toward his world. He quickly raced over to Tai and Agumon.
"What's up, X?" The Bearer of Courage asked him.
"Tai, Agumon, we've got trouble and it's heading straight for us!"
"What?! Mimi's on her way here?!"
"No, Agumon, not her! Beerusmon is coming! As we speak, Beerusmon the Destroyer is rapidly approaching this planet!"
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - The Earth's Fate (0:57-2:10))
Both Tai and Agumon wore befuddled looks as they couldn't sense anything close resembling a source of power.
"Are you sure, X? I'm not even sensing anything," Tai asked, scratching his head in confusion.
"That's because you can't sense the presence of deities!"
"But, why can you?" Agumon inquired.
"Because I've gained special privileges since becoming a watcher. I can sense any kind of energy."
The Bearer of Courage nodded. "Now that you mention it I have a hard time sensing any energy from the Sovereigns, Lord Shinmon, and his son as well."
"Remember, you two. Above all else, refrain from doing anything stupid!"
"How hard can that be?" Tai sighed out of exasperation. "We'll be fine." He turned his back to , gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists. "All right!" He muttered excitedly.
Agumon chuckled. "Heheheh, can't help but be excited, too."
"You two are gonna be the death of me," the masked watcher facepalmed. Suddenly, he probed the two immense God-like powers approaching. "You two! Get inside my mansion quickly now!"
Tai looked over his shoulder and gave a pouty face. "Why?!"
"JUST DO IT!"
"Fine, c'mon, Agumon!" Tai sighed, disappointed with X raining on his parade. "Sheesh, would it kill him to say please?"
"Probably not 'cause he looks to be on edge," Agumon said. "Can't say I blame him."
"HURRY!"
"Fine, fine!"
As Tai and Agumon entered the mansion, X had his hand on his beating chest and sighed deeply.
The masked watcher murmured. "Yet, I still don't understand why Beerusmon the Destroyer would bother coming here. It makes no sense..."
"WHY INDEED!" The voice of the destroyer boomed out of nowhere, causing X to flip out and whirl around.
Poof!
A huge gust of dust kicked up in front of X. As the dust cloud cleared, the two deities, Whismon and Beerusmon, materialized on the planet. Tai and Agumon barely poked their heads out a window as they took a gander at the two deities.
(End theme)
"Oh, Lord Beerusmon, it's you!" X acknowledged the purple humanoid hiding behind Whismon.
Tai looked on in awe. "Wow, that's him, huh?"
"Man, that really is the mighty Beerusmon," Agumon whispered.
"Right, Agumon. He does look like mighty important."
(Cue Summer Wars OST – King Kazma)
"Um... um what a pleasant surprise!" X nervously welcomed Beerusmon and Whismon. "Welcome to my humble abode. I appreciate you coming all the way down here just to see me!" He leaned over to see Beerusmon, who kept poking his head out around Whismon.
Beerusmon yawned and stepped forward. "Yes, it's been a while. Hasn't it masked watcher X? You've still been filling in for that lazy drunkard Simms?"
"Yeah, you can say that."
Agumon blinked thrice. "Whoa, that's Beerusmon? He looks like a big hairless house cat!"
Tai narrowed his eyes. "I can see that, Agumon."
"Gatomon would freak out seeing this guy!"
Observing the planet, Beerusmon approached X. "Y'know, I must say yours and Simms' world is a little on the... small side?"
"Oh, well. Yes, but it is quite cozy and I do have the mansion. It's more spacious in there than out here. Please excuse the cramped accommodations."
Whismon addressed Beerusmon. "Long ago after Lord Beerusmon lost in an especially spirited game of hide and seek, he destroyed this world."
"Really, Whismon? I did that?" The purple cat humanoid asked, unable to recall events right away.
"Of course, I know Simms had this planet restored before you took his place, X," Whismon stated. "It could've been returned to full size easily grant you. I guess you two prefer it to be small and cozy."
X chuckled nervously. "Yeah. Anyhow, what do I owe the pleasure of your company, Lord Beerusmon?"
Beerusmon narrowed his eyes and smirked. "There's a small matter of that Ascendant you're harboring!" He quickly sighted Tai and Agumon in the mansion.
"GAH!" X freaked out. You idiots couldn't have hidden from plain sight better?!'
"SHIT! BUSTED!" Tai yelled quietly as he pulled Agumon down and clamped their mouths shut.
"Come on out!" Beerusmon demanded.
"Oh, where are my manners! I should've introduced you two to them!" X turned and beckoned to this former students. "Tai, Agumon, come say hello to our guest Lord Beerusmon!"
The duo came bolting out of the mansion upon hearing their names being called. Tai and Agumon both waved casually to Beerusmon and Whismon.
"Hey, I'm Taichi Kamiya!"
"And I'm his partner Agumon!"
"And I am the Ascendant from Earth!"
X gave a good whack in the back of Tai and Agumon's heads. "I had a feeling you were going to be too casual! You two should know how to give a proper greeting to deities by now!"
Tai and Agumon cringed while rubbing their throbbing heads.
"You could've warned us before hitting us, y'know!" Agumon snapped.
""Fine," Tai beckoned Agumon over.
(End theme)
The duo stood right in front of Beerusmon and Whismon giving them the proper bow.
"I'm sorry. Hello there," Tai properly introduced himself to the deities. "My name is Sir Taichi Kamiya."
"I'm Sir Agumon."
"It's an honor for you to meet us."
Beerusmon nodded. "If you say so. Now that's out of the way, there was something I've been meaning to ask you about." He paused and turned to Whismon. "Uh... about that Ascen..."
"Ascendant God, I believe it was," Whismon refreshed his memory.
"Yes, that's right," Beerusmon shifted back to Tai and Agumon. "Now what can you two tell me about the existence of this Ascendant God?"
"Ascendant God? That's a new one. Let me think," the Bearer of Courage tried mulling this over. "I only know about just plain Ascendants, but this Ascendant God stuff isn't ringing any bells. X, you know anything?"
"Erm... um... your guess is as good as mine," X coughed. "This is the first I've heard any mention of an Ascendant God."
"So, you don't know either, X?" Agumon blinked. "And you're our walking information book!"
The masked watched scoffed. "Don't rub it in, Agumon."
"Ah, I see," Beerusmon replied in a disappointed tone. He waltzed right over to Tai and Agumon. "Whismon tells me you're the Ascendant that slayed that bastard Burizalor." He looked right into Tai's reddish brown eyes.
"Burizalor? Um, yeah, that was me, sir," Tai noticed Beerusmon poking his chest.
Beerusmon crouched over checking over Tai and started sniffing him. He then sniffed over Agumon, who looked awkward with the Digital God sniffing his tail.
"It just doesn't seem possible you two could've defeated him as you are now," Beerusmon assessed. "But, I understand you're capable of transformations into these Ascendants."
"Yes, they're quite the significant power-up boosters," X plainly answered. "An Ascendant's strength is capable of crushing the mightiest of warrior Digimon. You're very well informed, Lord Beerusmon."
"And yet neither of you know anything of this Ascendant God. Say, Whismon, are those other Ascendants capable of transformations?"
"Indeed they are, Lord Beerusmon. All of them who now reside on Earth can turn into Ascendants."
X blinked thrice, impressed. "And I thought I was a knowledgeable guy. Impressive, Lord Whismon."
"They all have this power, huh?" The purple humanoid cat asked, looking out to the sky. "That's quite odd. Perhaps, I need to go ask them instead?"
"With all due respect Lord Beerusmon, I doubt any of them would know about an Ascendant God more than Tai does," X replied.
"That may be, but I won't know unless I ask them, will I? Whismon, how long until we reach that Digital World they reside on from here?"
"Roughly three minutes tops."
"Not too bad. Then, it's settled. It's about time I go check out this Digital World."
"About that," X interjected, garnering Beerusmon's attention. "You're not planning to destroy it, are you?"
"As long as nothing there annoys me..."
(Cue Digimon Adventure OST – Adventurer ~Taichi no Theme~)
"Excuse me listen," Tai spoke out but stopped himself short of sounding casual. "I mean, Lord Beerusmon, sir, I've heard your lordship is incredibly strong. How about showing me and Agumon a teensy bit of your power? Sir!"
"You want a demonstration of my power? Do tell, what do you have in mind?"
"We can go toe to toe in a sparring match if only just for a minute!"
"A minute?" Agumon gulped.
"All right, playtime's over, Tai. Seriously, you're going to ask Lord Beerusmon such a silly request..?"
"I have lived for a very long time. Yet, never have I ever been issued a challenge like yours. You seem quite sure of yourself, or could it that you're simply just an arrogant fool?"
X raised his hand and nodded. "Yep! A big fool! He and Agumon are dumb, stupid fools!" He pointed to his former students.
"Why not?"
Upon hearing this, X was left shellshocked, but Tai and Agumon had more jubilant reactions.
Beerusmon beckoned both Tai and Agumon. "You two come out at me with all you've got."
"Sweet...!" Tai stopped himself. "Um, I mean thank you very much, sir!" He and Agumon both bowed to the deity. "But, are you sure you want out full Ascendant power right away? If I hurt you, I don't want you to get ticked off and take your anger on this planet."
"You have my word. Well, let's begin!"
X groaned and facepalmed. Ugh, this is the absolute last thing I wanted! But, nothing can be done! You better not wreck my world, you two!
(End theme)
Wasting no time, Tai and Agumon grabbed each other's hands. The Crest of Courage symbol lit up on the young man's chest like a big Christmas light. A halo of golden light enveloped them both, turning them into Omega X.
Fwoosh!
"Let's get this started!" Omega X declared, wearing a calm and collective grin.

Next chapter: Omega X vs. God of Destruction Beerusmon
xxxxx
A/N: Two chapters in, Beerusmon and Whismon are introduced Two chapters in, they're already on X's planet and Beerusmon meets the Ascendant who defeated Burizalor. Could this be the fabled Ascendant God from his premonitions? He'll have to find out once he and Omega X throw down.
And will be there some 'bad animation' here to mirror the infamous Dragon Ball Super's original TV broadcast fifth episode? Nah 'cause words on paper can't be badly drawn or animated. :P
As for the party guests, yeah you'll notice one guy seemingly out of place from the others. You'll ask, 'Why the flippin' heck is Tony Stark there?' Well, to be it bluntly, the MCU shares universe space in Digimon Fusion Kai. In fact, Tony made his on-screen debut in D-Reaper's Fury. Tony is already Iron Man here after stopping Obadiah Stane/The Iron Monger. Going forward, I intend to show the other MCU characters and in this story I'll have more free reign to have them guest star in the upcoming arcs.
Anyway, next time it's Omega X vs. Beerusmon and more party shenanigans with the other cast. Send a review and next chapter will be up very soon!
