-Within the Digital World-

The Celestial Digimon could only watch from a balcony as the army of Digimon now under the control of the Light of Destruction was assaulting her castle.

With each strike, Ophanimon began to worry as she could feel the barrier she had placed around her castle weakening, knowing that soon she'd be unable to protect Lucemon's Digi-Egg and the whole Digital World would fall under Sartorius' control.

But her worry faded as a bright light shone behind her, making Ophanimon smile as she turned to see the remaining Legendary Warriors standing before her.

"Welcome back, my friends." Ophanimon greeted in a friendly tone, before her smile faded as she said. "I only wish we could've reunited under different circumstances."

"Right now we're in a race against time. Takuya and Koji are attacking four points of my castle to break down my barrier. And if they succeed, they will storm in, take Lucemon's Digi-Egg and use it to rewrite and reprogram the Digital World and every Digimon, turning us all into servants of the impure Light."

"Not if we can help it!" Zoe stated, ready to protect Ophanimon and Lucemon's Digi-Egg, which was sitting upon a pedestal, before the blonde pulled out her D-Tector, followed by Tommy, JP and Koichi, who all called out simultaneously. "Execute! Spirit Evolution!"

"Kazemon!"

"Kumamon!"

"Beetlemon!"

"Loweemon!"

-Meanwhile: Outside of Ophanimon's castle-

Takuya was leading a faction of the Digimon army he and Koji had managed to influence with the White Rings and currently was in his Fusion Evolved form, Aldamon, only his red armour had turned a sickly white colour while the yellow sections had turned violet, giving him a new identity, WhiteAldamon.

"Fire!" WhiteAldamon ordered, in which several Meramon, all who had White Rings on them and violet coloured eyes, obeyed, unleashing a barrage of fireballs as they all called out 'Magma Blast!'

However, a familiar voice to Takuya exclaimed 'Hurricane Wave!' to which a tornado shot out.

Not only did the hurricane destroy every fireball heading for Ophanimon's castle, but it also forced WhiteAldamon to leap back while the Meramon were struck by the attack and knocked down as their White Rings shattered, releasing them from the control of the Light of Destruction.

"Zoe. I see you managed to find your way into the Digital World." WhiteAldamon said as he landed.

"That's right and I'm here to stop you!" Kazemon replied in a determined tone, before she exclaimed. "Hurricane Wave!"

Kazemon then unleashed another wave of wind from her fingertips directly at WhiteAldamon, but to her shock, WhiteAldamon shot up through the wind before he then grabbed her by the neck and threw her to the ground, causing the Wielder of the Spirits of Wind to scream out in pain.

With Kazemon down, WhiteAldamon then shot back down, his right fist pulled back as he was ready to pummel Zoe into nothingness.

But fortunately, Kazemon was just fast enough and rolled out of the way, narrowly avoiding WhiteAldamon's attack as he slammed his fist powerfully into the ground, before she quickly got back up and decided to counter.

"Tempest Twist!" Kazemon shouted as she got down on her hands, spread out her legs and then span at a quick pace at WhiteAldamon, only for him to grab her right leg and throw her into the air.

"White Inferno!" WhiteAldamon exclaimed as he aimed his Rudri Tarpana wrist cannons at Kazemon and began blasting her repetitively with a wave of white fireballs as she fell to the ground.

-Around the same time with Tommy and JP-

"Blizzard Blaster!" Kumamon called out, firing a barrage of snowballs from his Romeo launcher, bombarding Digimon after Digimon, striking them down and breaking the White Rings in the process.

"Lightning Blitz!" Beetlemon announced, firing a massive lightning bolt from his horn that surged across the area, electrocuting several Digimon and destroying the White Rings equipped to them.

After clearing the area of Light influenced Digimon Kumamon turned to Beetlemon and asked, deciding whether to help Zoe, Koichi or find more Digimon to save from the control of the White Rings. "Which way should we go?"

"Neither of you are going anywhere." A familiar voice from the Legendary Warrior's past interrupted, to which Kumamon and Beetlemon turned to the source of the voice and were shocked to see who was approaching them, non other than Lucemon's former right-hand warriors, Dynasmon and Crusadermon, both of whom had White Spirals attached around their right arms.

"No way!" Beetlemon called out in disbelief, before saying. "Not you guys again."

"Yes we are back, meddlesome child." Crusdaermon replied, before saying. "And we serve a new master. Sartorius, leader of the Society of Light."

Hearing that shocked, the pair and caused Beetlemon to question. "Are you guys crazy? Didn't you learn anything after Lucemon betrayed you?"

"Lucemon was a fool. But Master Sartorius is different. He will bring order to the Digital World with his Light." Dynasmon stated, before he and Crusadermon declared. "Master Sartorius will be the next ruler of the Digital World!"

"Not if we can help it!" Beetlemon replied in a determined tone, before turning to Kumamon and asking him. "Ready Tommy?"

"Ready!" Kumamon replied.

"Slide Evolution!" The pair called out as Kumamon then transformed into Korikakumon, while Beetlemon transformed into MetalKabuterimon.

"Remember Tommy, we don't need to defeat we just need to destroy the Spirals on their arms controlling them." MetalKabuterimon told Korikaumon, who nodded in reply.

"Bolo Thunder"

"Avalanche Axes!"

With that, MetalKabuterimon fired two balls of lightning from his hands, while Korikaumon threw his axes right at Dynasmon and Crusadermon.

Both of their attacks headed right at the Royal Knights, striking them both in a massive blast, however, The Legendary Warriors were shocked as Dynasmon and Crusadermon emerged without so much as a scratch.

Crusadermon laughed at their pitiful attempt for attacks, before asking. "If that's all you can do than your defeat will be far quicker and easier than we anticipated, right Crusadermon?"

"Agreed." Dynasmon replied simply, before he roared out. "Dragon Thrower!"

Dynamon then fired a barrage of red energy blasts from his right hand and blue blasts from his left, striking MetalKabuterimon, who cried out in pain and was knocked back before he was forced to revert back to his human form.

"JP!" Korikaumon shouted in concern.

"You should be more worried about yourself, child." Korikumon heard Crusadermon say to him, making the Legendary Warrior of Ice turn to see Crusadermon standing right behind him.

"Fist of Athena!" Crusadermon called out, slamming her right fist into Korikakumon's stomach, creating a powerful sonic boom that launched Korikaumon back a great distance, to which he landed next to JP, who was struggling to get back up, as was Tommy, who then reverted back to his human form after such power was inflicted upon him.

"Truly pathetic." Dynasmon stated as he and Crusadermon slowly walked towards JP and Tommy, ready to finish what they had started.

However, the Royal Knights stopped as they watched as the Legendary Warriors managed to rise to their feet, causing Dynasmon to then ask. "You still wish to fight us?"

"You better believe it. We will save the Digital World and you as well." JP panted out in a determined tone.

"What chance do either of you have?" Crusadermon questioned, before she stated. "You can barely stand."

"As long as we have each other, we will continue to fight. No matter what." Tommy replied in a determined tone as JP agreed with his friend.

-With the last Legendary Warrior-

Loweemon was in the midst of a battle against his brother, who too was using his Fusion Evolution form like Takuya.

And just like Takuya, so too did BeoWolfmon's appearance change.

His entire armour had turned sickly white, while the twin blades of his saber had changed violet, showing he too was now a Digimon under the control of the Society of Light, WhiteBeoWolfmon.

Blades clashed against one another as the brothers engaged in battle.

"Why, Koichi? Why did you turn to the darkness again when you can fight by my side in the Society of Light?" WhiteBeoWolfmon questioned.

"The Light you serve has blinded you to the truth." Loweemon replied as he and WhiteBeoWolfmon jumped backward, before stating. "Sartorius has warped your mind."

"Enough of your lies about Master Sartorius and the Society of Light!" WhiteBeoWolfmon yelled out, slashing at Loweemon, who brought up his spear to defend himself, only to watch as WhiteBeoWolfmon sliced right through it, before WhiteBeoWolfmon kicked Loweemon in the stomach and knocked him on to the ground.

As Loweemon got to his feet, WhiteBeoWolfmon told his brother, holding his blade at him. "If you don't refuse to listen to reason, than I shall have to defeat you."

"I won't give up on you, Koji! Slide Evolution!" Koichi called out as he then transformed into... "JagerLoweemon!"

Seeing JagerLoweemon appear on the battlefield, WhiteBeoWolfmon said as his eyes glowed violet. "This fight is getting us nowhere. Time to end this pointless battle."

"White Light Hunter!" WhiteBeoWolfmon exclaimed as sickly white energy encircled him and took form of a violet coloured wolf.

"Dark Master!" JagerLoweemon roared out in reply, his body covered in dark energy as he then leapt at WhiteBeoWolfmon, who charged at his brother.

The pair shot past one another at such an incredible speed, both standing in place, before JagerLoweemon roared out in pain and reverted back to Koichi, who collapsed to his knees and then onto his stomach and fell unconscious.

Seeing there was no reasoning with one who would align themselves with the side of darkness, WhiteBeoWolfmon said coldly to his fallen twin brother as he held his blade to the air. "Farewell, Koichi."

-Back with Kazemon-

"Had enough?" WhiteAldamon asked in a cold tone as he watched Kazemon struggling to get up.

"I'm... I'm just getting started." Kazemon managed to reply, getting back to her feet before she exclaimed. "Slide Evolution!"

With that Kazemon then transformed into... "Zephyrmon!"

"Hurricane Gale!" Zephyrmon called out as she then launched countless blades of pink energy that took the form of a pink tornado right at WhiteAldamon, hitting him.

However, Aldamon then brought his wings forward and then threw them back, disrupting the force of Zephyrmon's attack.

"Enough of this!" WhiteAldamon yelled as he then held his hands close to each other, creating a white fireball within the gap, that expanded at a rapid pace before he then rose his arms as the sphere continued to gather more and more energy.

"White Wind Destroyer!" WhiteAldamon then roared out as he hurled the fireball right at Zephyrmon, destroying everything in its path, before it struck Zephyrmon, causing her to scream out as she was consumed within the horrid flames of white light.

And when the screams stopped, WhiteAldamon looked to see that his power was too great for Zoe to face as she had reverted back to her human form and was on her stomach, struggling to get up or stay conscious, in which he waked over to her prone form and pulled the Legendary Warrior of Wind up from the collar of her shirt.

"This can all end, Zoe. Just give up." WhiteAldamon told her.

"Never!" Zoe spat in reply, before stating in determination. "I will never give up. Not on myself or on you!"

"Fine. Have it your way, traitor." WhiteAldamon replied as he aimed his Rudri Tarpana at her, ready to finish Zoe off once and for all.
