Cyber Land/Warehouse Area/DXW-06
While the fighting continued elsewhere, another portal opened up inside the technological based Cyber Land. From this portal came Davis, XVeemon, Ken, JewelBeemon, Sonja, and finally Justimon.
"Man that was rough! Where are we now?" wondered Davis as they surveyed around finding themselves surrounded by various warehouses.
Justimon looked up having noticed something while the others looked around the buildings. "Wherever we are, we're not getting out of here anytime soon." With that, Justimon pointed to the net-like barrier in the sky. "Looks like they thought this one through."
Sonja demanded. "Then, how are we supposed to get out of here and join up with the others?"
"I don't know, but we better remain on guard," said JewelBeemon. "This place feels like something out of an old movie."
Sonja narrowed her eyes towards one of the warehouses as she sensed something behind it. "Come out now whoever you are!" She said this whilst dropping into a fighting stance.
Steps were soon heard and from the doorway came Zarakimon.
"I was hoping to surprise you, but it seems I can't fool the marionette," grunted Zarakimon, giving them an irked look. "I see that the other Ken isn't with you. Here I was hoping he would be as I really wanted to get revenge on him for costing me my chance at becoming a digital god!" He yelled out before his lips curved into a smile. "However, since my other part is here... I'll take his data instead!" He hastily lunged at Justimon, who leapt back.
Davis looked at his partner. "Let's do it, XVeemon!" He said as his Digimon nodded and began glowing.
(Cue Digimon Adventure 02 OST Beat Hit)
"You got it!" yelled XVeemon, who quickly evolved into Imperialdramon before fusing with Davis to become Ultima X.
However, Zarakimon was hardly swayed by this and kicked him hard, knocking the wind out of Ultima X.
"Davis!" Sonja yelled as she bumrushed Zarakimon without a second thought. "You bastard!"
Zarakimon merely grinned. "I'm ready this time, you blasted puppet!" As he said this, he used her own momentum to throw her over his head into some crates nearby before turning back to the other three. "Now back to the business at hand, Justimon! If you let me take your partner, then I promise I'll spare you all."
Justimon, however, resisted. "Like I'd believe that after what I just saw! Why do you insist that my partner is the same as you especially considering you two have never met each other!"
Zarakimon merely smiled as Sonja and Ultima X started to recover. "It's simple. You see I can sense your partner has some certain... data within him. Data that I once had as well albeit slightly modified..."
Justimon rapidly slammed his arm into the ground modifying it slightly as he did so. "That is none of your business! Thunderclap!" Upon smashing his fist to the ground, he sent out a shockwave of energy that Zarakimon easily evaded.
(Theme ends)
"Did I strike a nerve there?" Zarakimon asked evilly as he landed.
Ken(DF) was beginning to comprehend things as Zarakimon's hints clarified his suspicions. I get it now. When he meant 'my other', he was not referring to Ryo's Cyberdramon, but the data inside that allows him to become another form... another him.
"Babe, you ok!" asked Ultima X as he quickly checked on Sonja after getting up.
Sonja had a raging fire in her eyes that made him shudder. She sprang up full of vigor and anger. "I'm going to rip his intestines out and choke him to death with them!" She shouted in furious anger.
Ultima X sweatdropped and stepped aside as he watched her attack Zarakimon once again. Much to his dismay, Zarakimon once again was forced to engage the Artificial.
"Note to self: do not make her angry," the Ascendant said as he hurried over to help the others.

Cyber Land/Junk Graveyard/DXW-06
Once X and his team dropped in through a portal, they found themselves in the middle of seemingly abandoned junkyard heap. The group carefully surveyed their new surroundings. X scowled irritably, realizing he had been tricked and pulled into his most hated adversary's trap. He took a glance over to where a pile of junk was being crushed. Then, he and the others whirled around, sensing a dark presence closing near them.
"It's him," Sam noted.
Tike growled. "That chicken shit had this planned and intended to divide us!"
Kara added. "Well, we're going to teach him a lesson."
David replied. "And this time we're putting him away for good."
"Oh, ho! Bold words from a bunch of runts!" Came a devilish and condescending voice from above. "You can't imagine how much I've missed hearing you run your little mouths, Tike, Kara, and David." The villain addressed them with such familiarity with the group. "Ain't that right?"
"Warlord! Get your sorry ass out here!" Keke demanded.
"As you wish..." The madman chortled as he flickered behind Keke and flew at her with his katana drawn.
As Keke backflipped away, X interjected and countered the Warlord's drawn weapon with his right arm. He quickly repelled the Warlord back with a Ki force. The Warlord somersaulted into the air and landed massive pile of discarded robotic parts. The Ascendants readied themselves and held their ground as X walked forward.
"Been a long time, old pains," Warlord chuckled evilly, calmly sheathing his katana. "What's wrong? Never thought we'd see each other again?"
"The last thing I want to see is a monster wearing my uncle's face and body!" Sam angrily retorted while pointing to the Warlord.
Warlord rolled his eyes. "It's impolite to point, dear nephew."
"BASTARD!"
"Sam, relax," X reassured the irate purple-haired teen. He put an arm out, preventing anyone from engaging their nemesis. "He's not worth the effort alone."
"We all owe him for the suffering he's put us through many times before," David said.
Tike cracked his knuckles. "Too bad while he's been wasting time looking for Ascendants, we've been training."
Kara smirked. "Yeah, I bet anyone of us can beat him around now."
"Cocky little shits like I remember y'all," the Warlord laughed at Tike and Kara. "Oh, how you can still humor me with your stupidity. You might've gotten back your lost skills and jacked yourselves up... yes, you all hold the advantage in terms of strength, but power isn't always everything." With that, he opened his right hand and forged a ball of black light in the palm. "The strongest don't always win. Even wit can beat a bunch of brutes and I'm about to demonstrate that right... NOW!" He threw the black ball into the air and closed his hands, making the black ball explode and provide as a distraction.
As the ball exploded, it produced a white flash of light that blinded the group. This allowed the Warlord to slip through and flee through the junkyard, leaving his adversaries behind blinded from his light flash technique. X was barely able to peek through the left side of his mask and saw the Warlord flying behind a large pile of Mekanorimon armor.
"I've got a lock on him!" X exclaimed as he jetted through across and punched a hole through the Mekanorimon pile. By punching through the massive junk pile, he was able to uncover the Warlord's hiding spot and forced him to retreat into the air. "You won't escape!" He shouted and caught him with an uppercut to his adversary's jaw. "Hyah!"
"Ugh... damn... you!" Warlord muttered as his head snapped up from X's punch. "Watchers... ain't... supposed to meddle with affairs."
"In rare cases like this, I'm making an exception, especially with conflicts involving you!"
The Warlord quickly flipped away and produced a portal behind him. He rubbed his jaw and sneered.
"Give up, Warlord. You can't win!" X exclaimed.
Once the Warlord noticed Keke and the others arrive, he watched them transform into Ascendants. All of them, save for X, wore the trademark golden hair and green eyes. They were all ready to tear their nemesis apart limb by limb.
"How I miss the gold hair and green eyes... NOT!" Warlord snapped. "You golden-haired goons aren't going to get the best of me!" He then turned to X and locked eyes with him. "Especially not you, Max." He snickered evilly and jumped through the portal.
"NO!" X shouted as he flew across and narrowly missed seizing the Warlord when the portal closed. "Damn!"
"We won't be able to sense him this way until he slips back here," Sam stated.
"Right since he can only do this between short intervals. He's limited between each interval when he dimension slips. Spread out and look for him, guys!"
With that, the group nodded in unison and split up throughout the junkyard whilst pursuing the Digital Warlord's current location. X was trailing past the trash compactor and meticulously scanned the nearest whereabouts of his hated adversary. The others were searching thoroughly far and wide to locate where he would appear.
Looking on behind the remains of a Trailmon, the Warlord watched Sam fly past by undetected and grinned an evil smile.
Once I've got them spread out, I'll hit them from the center most point with my Sin Harvest. Then, they'll be weak enough for me to kill them! These bastards won't know what'll hit them! He said with a not-so-subtle sadistic smile as he slowly coasted toward a Trailmon junk pile before turning his eyes to the skies. You fools are finally gonna be out of my hair for good. I can hardly wait to kill you with my bare hands!

Vampire Land/Castle Ruins/DXW-06
Henbu rubbed his eyes while trying to get a grip on his bearings. "Where the heck did we end up?" He scanned around their new location. Along with him were his partner, MegaGargomon, and Sara. Upon exiting the portal, they had been sucked through and they found themselves in what resembled a castle of some kind, but it was in much decay and ruin as if a major battle had taken place there.
"I don't know, but it feels creepy," said Sara, looking around at some of the demonic-looking architecture that had not been destroyed.
"Feels, more like we just stumbled into a place suited for Halloween parties," observed MegaGargomon, causing his partner to sigh.
"MegaGargomon, please remain focused," Henbu slightly chided him. "We need to find the others and..." At that moment, several missiles flew into the room almost hitting them.
Ba-Boom! Ba-Boom!
MegaGargomon narrowed his eyes as the attack seemed similar to his own.
"All right, who did that!" Henbu demanded and as soon as he said this... a loud stomping was heard and from the shadows came BlackMegaGargomon, who just smirked.
BlackMegaGargomon laughed while cracking his hands. "So, I'm to battle my goody two shoes counterpart. This should be interesting."
MegaGargomon retorted, laughing. "You think I'm gonna roll over and die? Don't think so!" He shouted before rearing back his fist. "Power Pummel!" He quickly thrust his fist forward, which was covered with energy.
However, BlackMegaGargomon countered with his own similar attack. "Dark Pummel!"
The two stood firm with energy crackling from their fist connection until finally they were blown back from the force of the blows.
"I see you're not just an idiot who loves playing in jokes!" said BlackMegaGargomon before striking a few poses, which made the good guys sweatdrop. "Ah, haven't done that in a while. Gotta get prepared for battle after all."
Henbu was perplexed more than anyone there.
Irked, MegaGargomon called out on his dark counterpart's odd dance routine. "You dare to call me annoying after doing something like that! You're high on something!"
Ok, so this guy is like the opposite of Terriermon. Completely serious, but acts out more like a fool than simply talking like one and being serious in battle. At this moment however, Genbu cut into Henbu's thoughts.
'That is true. However, we need to dispose of this foe quickly. I can sense the other spirits and a few other colleagues are near the castle engaging Dark Suzakato and they will need our help.'
Henbu nodded in agreement. "All right then. MegaGargomon, let's take him down."
Sara nodded as well. "Go for it, MegaGargomon. He's all yours!"
When hearing their encouraging words, BlackMegaGargomon merely laughed. "So, you realized your friends are nearby did you? It doesn't matter. I will not let you get out of here and join them! Impact Rockets!" He quickly unleashed two scuds from his massive shoulders.
"Gargo Missiles!" yelled MegaGargomon, unleashing his own.
The four missiles impacted with each other in the air and caused a massive explosion that rocked the castle walls around them. It caused the place to begin shattering.
Henbu shouted. "Now look what you did!"
"This isn't good Henry!" said Sara, concerned as she noticed the roof areas were also giving in.
MegaGargomon starred down his dark foe who could only laugh.
I gotta end this before this place swallows us whole, but how... wait a second if this guy is truly the opposite of me like Henry said then. A faint smile formed on MegaGargomon's face as he prepared to initiate his plan to take his dark counterpart down.

Vampire Land/Cemetery/DXW-06
Landing in the middle of a gloomy and creepy graveyard, Seirika, Sakuyamon, Himakko, YoukaiInumon, Yui, ShadowMetalGarurumon, Aoshi, Kohana, and Mika scoured through until they came to a stop. They saw four tombstones spread out in a square formation. However, Seirika and Himakko noticed only one of the mounds completely buried. They also discerned the symbol of the four legendary Saint Beasts inscribed on the front tombstones. The only one with a dirt-covered grave was the phoenix tomb.
"Ok, this is just getting creepy," Mika remarked, shuddering as she felt a cold and ominous vibe. "Guys."
"I feel it, too," Yui said.
Suddenly, everyone turned as a burst of flames expelled from the phoenix tomb. They watched as Dark Suzakato emerged and jumped out, laughing manically and putting both hands out. Seirika and Himakko stood at the forefront with everyone assembled behind them. Their eyes were met with dread when facing Dark Suzakato.
"Takato!" Aoshi exclaimed.
Kohana frowned as she readily conjured a clawed gauntlet shaped like a dog's paw. "We're gonna bring you back to your senses!"
Vexed, Mika spat at her rival. "Pffft, you don't scare me!"
"That's not helping, Mika," sighed Yui, locking eyes with Dark Suzakato, whose eyes burned with burning fury. "Guys, the darkness possessing Takato is stronger than before!"
"Welcome, my so-called friends," Dark Suzakato cackled as he addressed the amassed group standing their ground. He clapped his hands much to Seirika's dismay. "To know that Rika and Himura are with you, it makes this more interesting."
"Takato!" Seirika shouted and quickly drew Dark Suzakato's attention.
"Ah, Rika," Dark Suzakato smirked evilly, seeing the compassion in the girls' eyes. "Whatever happened to being the ice queen, Rika? It suits you best." He slowly stepped back and kicked some dirt over the mound where he blasted out not too long ago. He then eyed each grave with the dragon, turtle, and tiger tombs. "When I emerged from this grave, I was reborn into the darkness! And soon, my friends, you'll be buried six feet under and become reborn as dark warriors to serve Lord Paradixalmon!"
"And I promise to bury that darkness back into the hole you popped out of!" Seirika snapped, quickly brandishing her staff as she hovered next to Sakuyamon.
Himakko snorted and drew his claws out. "We're knocking the darkness out of you, Takato."
"Yui, let's call on Lady Lupin," ShadowMetalGarurumon suggested to his partner.
Holding out her D-Ark, Yui made ShadowMetalGarurumon turn into a stream of data and he revolved around her. They immediately merged as one and transformed into Lady Lupin right away. Realizing the current environment was perfect for a Lycan, Aoshi howled and eyed the full moon whilst transforming into a full-powered Lycan. Kohana stood alongside Lady Lupin and Aoshi ready to fight.
"Oh, you're all raring to go, but did you forget? I don't come alone," Dark Suzakato said as he looked up and saw a purple energy blast fired from above.
(Cue Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds OST Light and Dark)
Everyone present quickly scattered around the cemetery as the blast impacted the center. The blast blasted a hole through the surface and kicked up pounds of dirt into the air. Sakuyamon and YoukaiInumon were the first ones to notice a shadowed figure materializing behind the sheet of smoke. It was ChaosGallantmon, fully equipped and ready for battle. Dark Suzakato hovered atop ChaosGallantmon's shoulder as they locked eyes with their former friends.
"Gallantmon!" Sakuyamon called to the corrupted knight.
ChaosGallantmon scoffed irritably to Sakuyamon. "I'm ChaosGallantmon now."
"We now you're there old friend! We came to bring you out of the darkness!" YoukaiInumon shouted.
Shaking his head, Dark Suzakato laughed at their vain efforts. "It's no use. We've fully given to the darkness. Time to take you out here and now before you become a bigger nuisance to Lord Paradixalmon!" With that, he jumped off ChaosGallantmon shoulder, allowing his Digimon partner to point his shield forward.
"Damn! He's firing that off!" Lady Lupin exclaimed.
"Shield of the Destruct!" bellowed ChaosGallantmon as he expelled a powerful burst of black energy that wiped a large hill behind them. "And next time I won't miss." He pivoted his view toward Sakuyamon and YoukaiInumon. They both surrounded the corrupted knight and tried to restrain him. He swatted YoukaiInumon back with his Balmung lance and turned, firing off a black lightning bolt from the same lance. "Cruel Balmung!"
Sakuyamon quickly raised her staff and nullified the lighting blast. However, ChaosGallantmon charged forward and pushed Sakuyamon back with a shoulder tackle. The knight turned as Lady Lupin jumped right over him, hitting him in the back with a kick. He turned and saw Lady Lupin springing off his shield. Lady Lupin swiftly landed in front of him and produced a giant blue stream of spirit energy.
"Super Spirit Gun!" She aimed and blasted ChaosGallantmon, who blocked it with his Gorgon shield.
ChaosGallantmon rebounded, shooting a black energy beam from his lance. "Chaos Shot!"
As the blast hit the ground near her, Lady Lupin jumped and shot up into the air. Kohana used Lady Lupin's distraction and jumped onto ChaosGallantmon's back. ChaosGallantmon quickly threw Kohana off as Aoshi jump in to catch her.
"You think you weaklings stand a chance against me?" ChaosGallantmon roared as he spun around, creating a tornado whilst knocking most of everyone back.
As Sakuyamon and YoukaiInumon fell, they sat up and intently looked to their former colleague. Sakuyamon gritted her teeth, slamming her staff on the ground angrily.
"Sakuyamon...?"
"YoukaiInumon, I may have to go Priestess Mode..."
YoukaiInumon nodded. "Do what you think is best, but I'll back you."
"Thank you."
Meanwhile, Dark Suzakato threw a volley of black fire blasts toward Seirika, Himakko, and Mika. The trio maneuvered past the burning black blasts. Mika pulled out her fan and forged a barrier over herself, nullifying the black fire before they could touch her. Seirika swerved right behind Dark Suzakato and called to him.
"Takato! I know you're still there! Paradixalmon's using you!" Seirika snapped. "Why can't you see that?"
"Oh, here we go again. Blah, blah, you're pleas aren't going to sway me back," Dark Suzakato scoffed irritably as he turned around and faced Seirika. He looked over his shoulder and saw Himakko sitting on a rock ledge with a metal pole floating over him. He then noticed Mika brandishing her bladed fans and forming a subtle green glow around her. "Paradixalmon has opened my eyes to the truth. None of you were ever there for me when I was in pain. The darkness has made my stronger than I've ever been!"
"Takato, listen to us!" Himakko pleaded.
Sighing, Dark Suzakato produced a pillar of black fire around him and hovered 20 feet into the air. "It's too late. Prepare to be purged, old friends." With that, he brought down the black flames from the pillar swerving around him and incinerated a decent chunk of the vicinity, forcing Seirika, Himakko, and Mika to withdraw from getting caught by the flames.
Mika shook her head dismissively. "Looks like we're taking him down by force. If you two aren't up for it, I'll do it."
"No, Mika. Hold on!" Seirika said as she watched Dark Suzakato preparing to unleash another burst of black fire. "There's always a solution to this." Seiryuu, I doubt force is what's going to stop Takato. I guess I'll have to do what Rei suggested instead and not kill him. Taking a deep breath, Seirika was prepared to take the alternative rather than go to the extremes as Seiryuu and Houou had intended.
(End theme)
"Rika?" Himakko turned to the Warrior of Seiryuu.
"I'm bringing you back, Takato. No matter what it takes!" Seirika said as she readied her staff and flew off to engage Dark Suzakato.
"Wait, Rika!" Mika cried out.
"C'mon, Rika, let's see what your made of," Dark Suzakato chortled evilly as he and Seirika came into a head-on clash with one another. He launched a fire blast, which Seirika countered with a water blast. "This will be fun indeed! Let's keep this up!"
Determined, Seirika pierced a glare into Dark Suzakato's darkened eyes.

Canyon Land/Mountain Peak/DXW-06
"It seems we've been separated from the others," stated BW as he, Pikkan, and Mercuremon observed their surroundings from the top of a mountain in this new desert-like setting, including the net like barrier in the sky.
"We need to find anyone else who was sent here with us," said Pikkan in annoyed manner. "These tricks of the Warlord are getting on my nerves!"
"If this is enough to annoy thee, then perhaps you should consider training your mind more," Mercuremon said, who seemed unfazed compared to the others.
Pikkan was about to interject, but before he could... three roars could be heard. Coming up the mountain were the Trinity who BW and Pikkan fought before back in their world. Only now they appeared more focused.
"Those three must be gluttons for punishment," said Pikkan, cracking his knuckles before turning to Mercuremon. "You sure you can handle this? Cause while being a Legendary Warrior is impressive, these Digimon are not weak."
Mercuremon just smiled. "I've trained under an Omegamon. I can handle myself."
With that, they split off once again.
"Thunderclap!" shouted Raijinmon, who slammed both of its arms down like Justimon whilst sending shockwaves towards BW.
He thrust his hand downward, unleashing energy and cancelled Raijinmon's move.
Fuijinmon shouted. "Accel Arm!" He said this and attacked Pikkan with his voltage blades.
Pikkan moved back and fired a barrage of blasts into the Digimon's face, knocking it back. This left Mercuremon to contend with Suijinmon.
"Giga Cannon!" It yelled, unleashing four blasts of energy toward the Warrior of Metal.
"Dark Reflection!" shouted Mercuremon, catching two of the blasts with his mirrors and sending them at the other two. "Generous Mirror!" Subsequently, he then pointed his mirror forward and fired off a stream of green energy from it, which slammed into Suijinmon. It did not damage the beast much as it fired another Giga Cannon in response to which Mercuremon evaded.
BW jumped into the air and gathered a giant ball of dark energy. "Terra Destroyer!" He dropped the attack and flung it toward Raijinmon.
Fuijinmon, however, was quick to initially react and spun like a tornado. He sliced the dark ball in half much to BW's dismay. Pikkan then fired off a bigger beam of power that nailed both of them back.
"They're good at fighting in unison it seems," said BW.
Mercuremon nodded to this but then got an idea. "Then perhaps using thy strength's against them is the best solution."
This confused the other two until he ran at Raijinmon who stood next to Suijinmon.
"Electro Bolt!" yelled Raijinmon, calling down lightning onto the thunder drums on his back and then let it fly.
Fortunately, Mercuremon was ready for it. "Offset Reflector!" Catching the attack with his first mirror, he immediately held up his other one and from it came a black bolt of lightning power that tore through Suijinmon. This easily caused the giant Mega to scream in excruciating pain as a data ring surrounded him. "I shall help thee sleep now for all eternity!" With that, he pulled out his D-Scanner and scanned the data causing Suijinmon to vanish.
When this happened Fuijinmon and Raijinmon both stopped moving completely.
"What are they doing? Have they given up?" wondered Pikkan, looking confused until the two did something that shocked them completely.
Tears started to fall from their eyes and for the first time both Digimon seemingly spoke other than to call out an attack command. What they said was both shocking and disturbing.
"Kill... us..."

Canyon Land/Away from the Mountain Peak/DXW-06
Once they landed in the middle of a spacious canyon area, Metalla X, Celesta X, WarAngemon, and Shoutmon DX greeted by an abrupt attack from Arkadimon. The Mega-level behemoth charged, crushing a rock formation with one hand. The three Ascendants and Shoutmon DX flew around Arkadimon's massive frame, firing multiple blasts that burned areas of his skin.
Arkadimon raises his right arm, turning it into a long spear. "Exile Spear!" He fiercely brought down his spear arm and cut through the earth, splitting half of a rock formation. He narrowly missed Shoutmon DX, who flew out of the beast's reach.
Shoutmon DX hastily fires an array of guided shots all over Arkadimon. "Hyper Rock Magnum!" However, the golden-armored Digimon didn't stop there and fired a V-shaped beam from the 'V' head formation on his head. "Victorize Banking!" He caught Arkadimon in the face and dazed the behemoth. As Arkadimon thrust a claw at him, he swerved out of reach and turned to where Celesta X raised her hands to produce a massive white arrow. "Looks like you're getting your fighting groove back, Kari."
"Celestial Arrow!" Celesta X cried out, throwing the holy arrow toward Arkadimon. It stabbed through Arkadimon's right shoulder, but little more than irk the beast. "Looks like I'm going to have to go all out!"
"Kari!" WarAngemon said as he flew over to his friend. "Let's find a weakness on him and exploit it."
"Right, TK," Celesta X nodded.
"Hey, less talk and more fight, you two!" Shoutmon DX called to them. "Kari, have you fully regained your confidence?"
Nodding, Tai's sister responded. "Yes and I won't back down!"
"Atta girl," Shoutmon DX murmured as he turned and noticed Metalla X clobbering Arkadimon's face with punches.
Metalla X raised both hands and smashed them across Arkadimon's head. Arkadimon reeled from the arrogant Ascendant's blows and fell back on his bottom. Metalla X beckoned to Celesta X and WarAngemon, moving away to give them room to hit the fallen behemoth with their attacks. Celesta X and WarAngemon flew right over Arkadimon's giant frame and unloaded with a series of blasts that pulverized him like no tomorrow.
"All right! Stay on him!" Shoutmon DX encouraged the Ascendant duo. He joined right in to give them a helping hand whilst spamming blasts all over Arkadimon's frame.
Arkadimon raised his head and unleashed a beam. "Dot Matrix!" He launched a concentrated beam that cut through their barrage of attacks like nothing.
Celesta X, WarAngemon, and Shoutmon DX immediately spread out as the beam shot through the skies and exploded, casting a bright flash of light.
"There has to be a critical spot on him we can hit!" WarAngemon exclaimed.
Celesta X studied him carefully and noticed the restraining collar. "Huh?" I'm sensing an ominous vibe from that collar.
Metalla X hovered over behind Arkadimon and stared over the collar, getting a different idea than Celesta X. That collar's coming off. It's an eyesore! Maybe we'll find his weak point there! Well, time to find out!
Arkadimon bellowed a deafening roar, which reached as far as the heavens. He bumrushed toward Celesta X, WarAngemon, and Shoutmon DX. They trio scattered and left the beast bedazzled upon leaving him behind. A vague smile adorned Metalla X's face as he closed in behind Arkadimon.
"Yamato?" a befuddled WarAngemon eyed him discreetly.
Celesta X and Shoutmon DX watched Metalla X preparing to initiate his next attack.
"No, he wouldn't..." Celesta X gasped in horror.

Cyber Land/Warehouse Area/DXW-06
(Cue Dragonball Kai OST Scampering Battle)
Zarakimon was getting annoyed with Sonja. Needless to say, she, too, was getting equally irked with Zarakimon. The two of them had been engaged in combat nonstop for more than ten minutes. However, Zarakimon knew this was a bad thing. He learned from the Warlord's data that Sonja, being a cyborg, would never tire out. He sighed and leapt back from her breathing hard.
"I have to give you credit! You've forced me to do this!" Zarakimon said as his body began glowing with cracks slowly forming over his body. This confused everyone around him.
"What in the world?" wondered Ultima X.
JewelBeemon inquired, watching Zarakimon's cracking form. "Has he given up?"
"No, this is..." Justimon couldn't finish his sentence.
"Armor Break!" roared Zarakimon as most of the body armor broke off, converting them into energy, and wrapped into his claws, which started glowing more intensely. "You're all gonna die now!" He bellowed while lunging at Ultima X first "Thunderclaw!" He shouted and to the surprise of everyone punched Ultima X flying back hard and going through a warehouse.
Taken aback, Sonja screamed. "Davis!" She took off to where Ultima X was, but Zarakimon phased in front of her and cut her off.
"Where do you think your going!" He asked before striking her hard with his charged claw as well and sent her flying back.
"I don't get this?" Ken said confused. "It's like he stripped off his armor, but..."
Justimon nodded. "It's simple. From what the other Ken told me, Digimon like him have a special power called Armor Break. They lose their defense, but gain superior offensive power, speed, and in some cases weapon up..." He was cut off as he was kicked back by Zarakimon, who then quickly grabbed Ken and held a claw to his neck.
"Ok, Ryo, this is your last chance! You fork over what I want or I'm gonna cut this Ken's neck!" Zarakimon have Justimon one last chance to give in. However, he hadn't counted on JewelBeemon rushing at him. He quickly kicked the Ultimate-level Digimon back hard, but this was the opening the others needed.
Justimon formed his voltage blade in response. "Don't move from that spot, Ken! Accel Arm!" The Bio-Merged Digimon lunged forward and thrust the blade right into Zarakimon's chest area and thankfully to the side of Ken otherwise he would've hurt him. This caused Zarakimon to release Ken, who went to his partner's side.
All this time allowed Sonja and Ultima X to recover and fire off large energy blasts that flew at Zarakimon, blowing him to pieces.
"I'll be back...!" Was all Zarakimon could get out before dying.
(End theme)
"Wormmon, are you ok?" Ken demanded, holding his de-evolved partner as the others approached him.
"I'm fine Ken... ow... he hit me a lot harder than I thought," he said while curling up.
Ultima X was relieved. "I'm just glad you didn't hit Ken with that blade. Still that guy was weird."
Sonja concurred and added. "I wonder what you have that he was after so badly."
Ken turned to Justimon and openly addressed him. "Your partner has Millenniummon's data in him, doesn't he?"
Justimon said nothing for a moment but then nodded. "That's correct. I must implore that you all don't tell anyone about it either. I don't want them to know about it."
Sonja was confused. "Wait a second. You mean not even the people from your world know about it? Even that Sedna girl?"
Justimon replied. "No, but it's better they don't know unless something does happen. For the time being, all is good. So, I'd rather not discuss it. Please don't tell anyone."
"How could I say no? Even if you're not the same Ryo I once knew. You're still my friend," Ken said.
Ultima X reassured him. "My lips are sealed. Besides, I'll probably end up forgetting about it."
"Same here. I always keep to my word," said Sonja as suddenly her scanners went off. "Whoa! We've got some high power levels coming from inside the city. Seems we're not the only ones here."
"Then, lets go find and help whoever is here! We need to reconverge anyway," said Ultima X.
With that, the others nodded as they followed Sonja to where they sensed the assorted gathering of powers.

(Cue Dragonball Kai OST The Clouds of War Spread)
Meanwhile, several kilometers from the warehouse, an old conflict was about to be resolved one way or another. The Digital Warlord utilized hit-and-run tactics to catch the Ascendants by surprise. He hit Tike's back with a beam and slipped through a portal before the boy could even retaliate. He tripped Kara over and vanished into a slip before Kara could even catch him. He even bonked David's head and went out of the irked boy's grasp. He blasted Sam's back and gave his nephew more grief than he needed. He pulled the ultimate cop-out as he goaded X into a fight only to slip through a portal.
The Warlord now set his sights on Keke, who was hovering past a mountain of Guardromon parts. He waited as she flew over him undetected. He emerged from a portal under the ground and snuck up behind Keke, coping a feel on her chest and butt, prompting the female Ascendant to whirl around and unload with a barrage of angry blasts. Unfortunately, she couldn't catch the Warlord in time as the villain had slipped through another portal.
"UGH! YOU BASTARD!" Keke screamed as her outburst drew the attention of her friends.
As the others converged to the vicinity Keke was, the Warlord watched them sally forth to their friend's distress.
"Perfect," the Warlord grinned evilly as he lifted a hand overhead and chanted. "Sin..."
Shoom.
Warlord stopped dead cold. "...damn." He quickly turned and was met with a punch to his face. "Ugh!" He recoiled and hit the ground in a hurry. Shaking his head, the madman raised his head and gawked at the unsightly appearance of his enemy. "...X!"
Wearing a focused and serious demeanor, X hovered with arms crossed.
"You got me good, but that was a lucky shot."
"Not really. Your hit-and-run tactics stop here. Fight like a man."
"Feh," the Warlord snorted, spitting blood from his mouth. "Fine. Let's throwdown." He said, drawing out his katana.
"You can't win against me," X shook his head, seemingly annoyed with Warlord's persistence. "You never learn to rest in peace."
"I won't rest in peace until you and all your Ascendant friends are dead! You humiliated me before and I won't let it go unpunished! I will see you die by my blade!"
"Why don't you tell them that?"
"Eh?"
Suddenly, the Warlord sensed five strong energies closing in behind him. He turned to find Keke, Sam, Tike, Kara, and David with irked looks on their faces. Needless to say, the Warlord was in for a world of pain like he's experienced before when fighting Ascendants.
"Ready for the pain?" Tike snickered.
The Warlord scowled and stepped away, gripping his katana handle tight. "...things just couldn't get any better, could they?"

By now, it was already becoming apparent BlackMegaGargomon was growing irritable with MegaGargomon.
"Why the heck are you smiling? Given the fact your two human friends will be buried while we'll endure!" BlackMegaGargomon exclaimed. "Your actions confuse me."
"That's because I'm about to lay the biggest smackdown ever on your candy ass!"
BlackMegaGargomon twitched as Henbu and Sara hung their heads in shame.
"What is he think ...Sara.. .you might want to knock me out. I don't my brain is going to be able to handle what's coming," Henbu mumbled, wanting someone to hit him.
Sara asked, covering her ears. "How come?" Then, when MegaGargomon continued running his mouth, she began to understand. "Oh... yeah, I see your point now."
"You ain't nothing but a copy of me who loves to do stupid poses! Well I can pose even better than you!" MegaGargomon said making several poses. This only caused BlackMegaGargomon to twitch more.
"Stop it," he said with a gruff voice.
MegaGargomon boasted, smiling like fool. "I'm loud and proud of it! And I can also tell a mean joke when I want!" Seeing his counterpart pose caused BlackMegaGargomon to cover his head.
"Oh, Huanglongmon! Make it stop!" He yelled out as his head started throbbing. "I can't stand jokers and obnoxious loud Digimon!"
MegaGargomon, however, wouldn't stop, slamming his opponent with several verbal jokes, puns, screams, and other phrases. The ever serious BlackMegaGargomon couldn't take it.
"Shut up already!" he yelled, trying to punch MegaGargomon. However, he was unfocused and the punch was easily deflected before MegaGargomon slammed his left hand into his chest area.
"Hasta la vista, baby!" said MegaGargomon, before unloading an artillery strike from his wrist, which tore through his dark counterpart and destroyed his core that easily dissipated him. He then turned and picked up Henbu and Sara , gliding through the roof of the collapsing castle. "You can let go of his ears now, Sara." He reassured the Chimera girl, who sighed and uncovered her ears.
Henbu breathed with relief. Thank god.
"I'm beginning to understand why people are always getting on Terriermon's case now," she said.
Henbu sadly concurred and hugged her. "Sorry, I made you go through that. He can be quite the chaotic with his tongue at times."
She nodded and hugged him back. Then, she pulled him back and smiled evilly. "You are going to owe me for that. Count on it."
Henbu sighed as they saw explosions in the distance.
"Ok, now we need to get refocused! I can see the others up ahead near the graveyard and... oh boy, Henry... I think Guilmon's going all out...!" warned MegaGargomon.
Henbu and Sara became focused as they would need all their power to help the others stop Dark Suzakato and ChaosGallantmon.

Castle/Unknown Dimension
GranDracmon deeply groaned after witnessing the leader of his Dark Hand getting decimated in what could've been the worst possible outcome for someone with a serious reputation. "I knew he couldn't handle jokes, but wow that was pathetic. The Dark Hand might be gone, but I've got a new plan cooked up for you Ascendants, and you as well Dramon X." The demonic being shifted his attention to another monitor displaying a tube. Inside of it was the silhouette of a human girl.

"Dragon Twister!" Seirika howled, swiftly hitting Dark Suzakato with a force full of tornado. She sent him hurtling into a rockface as Himakko threw several metal poles to pin him against the rockface. "All right, that should hold him!"
"Augh! No! Let me go!" Dark Suzakato angrily demanded, smashing his fists against the metal reinforcements. "LET ME GO!"
"I hope that'll be enough," Mika said as she watched the others holding their ground with ChaosGallantmon. "Looks like Takato's partner's beginning to wear down."
ChaosGallantmon sank to one knee and lifted his head when he saw Dark Suzakato pinned against the rockface. "Takato!"
Just then, Seirika, Himakko, and Mika noticed MegaGargomon, Henbu, and Sara drop in to meet them. Having taken care of BlackMegaGargomon, they were readily able to give the others support to turn the tide against Dark Suzakato and ChaosGallantmon.
"We came just in time," Sara said.
Henbu jumped off MegaGargomon and landed over to Himakko.
"Rika might have an idea how to save Takato," Himakko addressed Henbu. "Though, I don't think what she has to do... she might not find the courage to do it."
Henbu furrowed his brows. "You mean what Seiryuu and Houou suggested?"
"No... no... we won't be defeated, ChaosGallantmon!" Dark Suzakato exclaimed as he struggled whilst still pinned against the rockface. He grabbed his chest and let black energy seemingly leak out from his body. He directed a dark beam toward ChaosGallantmon, who took in Dark Suzakato's power. "WE WON'T BE BEATEN!"
"No... WE WON'T!" ChaosGallantmon snarled with a tinge of evil in his tone. The hazard symbol on his chest gleamed a bright purple glow, indicating that his power level was being augmented and invoking the instilled power of Grani within him. He roared and watched a dark purple aura outlined his armored frame. "...Takato, the darkness... giving me strength! I will purge everyone and make them pay for hurting you... mentally and physically. I share all of your pain!" He roared, simultaneously linking his power with Dark Suzakato's, and allowed the purple aura to swallowed him whole. His regular armor was encased in dark blue armor design akin to Gallantmon Crimson's Mode.
(Cue Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds OST Showdown)
"Not only we will NOT lose, but we will NOT allow you to sway us from Lord Paradixalmon!" screamed Dark Suzakato, whose roars sent chills down everyone and caused Seirika to shudder with fright. "CHAOSGALLANTMON!"
"Mode Change!" ChaosGallantmon shouted as the purple light faded away and unveiled his dark blue-armored body. Opening his eyes, he clenched his fists and unleashed an incredible force of power that blew away every tombstone and laid waste to every obstruction in the encompassing area. "Gallantmon Destructor Mode!" He raised his hands and summoned two black swords in his hands. Six black angel wings sprouted from his back, indicating his descent to the darkness like a fallen angel.
Everyone present was awestruck with distress and uncertainty. Dark Suzakato finally freed himself from his imprisonment and melted the metal poles with his black flames.
"Gallantmon Destructor Mode?" Henbu exclaimed.
YoukaiInumon and Sakuyamon sensed the intense evil energies exuding from the Dark Unholy Knight. Everyone else able to sense his power were petrified with terror. Though his power was stabilized unlike Megidramon, ChaosGallantmon Destructor Mode's presence alone was equally as terrible.
"Takato!" Seirika cried out as she flew after Dark Suzakato.
"This isn't good," Kohana said with dread in her tone.
Lady Lupin and Aoshi held their ground with Sakuyamon, YoukaiInumon, MegaGargomon, and Kohana.
"Punish them all, ChaosGallantmon," Dark Suzakato giggled evilly as his eyes gleamed.
Gathering and drawing in the darkness from his partner, ChaosGallantmon Destructor Mode expelled waves of dark energy that quickly swept away everyone present. Sakuyamon, YoukaiInumon, MegaGargomon, Lady Lupin, Aoshi, and Kohana were knocked away like nothing as ChaosGallantmon Destructor Mode roared triumphantly. Dark Suzakato pivoted his view to see Seirika, Henbu, Himakko, Sara, and Mika wearing terrified looks.
"What's wrong? Scared?" Dark Suzakato grinned sadistically as he expelled black energy that swept the whole group away.
"AUGH!" They screamed as they hit the ground in a giant heap.
(Cue Yu-Gi-Oh GX OST Agonizing Heart)
Seirika struggled to sit up and fought against the overwhelming dark power crushing her.
"Stubborn to the very end, are you, Digimon Queen?" laughed Dark Suzakato.
"Takato... I..." The strong-willed Warrior of Seiryuu dragged herself across the ground. "I won't... give up...I will... bring you back to your senses. Gogglehead... do you hear me? I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON YOU!"
Opening her eyes behind her mask, Sakuyamon felt herself rejuvenated by Seirika's encouraging cry. "Rika... and I won't give up saving Gallantmon." She noticed a golden aura outline her beautiful golden-armored frame and stood facing ChaosGallantmon Destructor Mode. She picked up her staff and focused. "Your perseverance is giving me strength, Rika. I'm ready to mode change..."
Seirika reflected to Rei's words of encouragement prior to this conflict.
'Rika, you have to understand. Takato and Suzaku have been through a lot, much more than any of us realized until now. Takato's life and his bond with the spirit of Suzaku both rest on your shoulders now. You have to do this... you have to save him. Ken has tried. I've tried and not even the Houou could stop him either. We had our chances and it's clear now that you're the only one who can save him.'
Clenching her fists, Seirika stood on her feet and defiantly glared down Dark Suzakato.
"Takato..."
'Please Rika... I know the pain you're going through. I rather us save him... the power of love from you will be what brings him back. You just have to find and bring it out, Rika.'
"Any last words, Digimon Queen?" Dark Suzakato chortled darkly as he methodically walked toward Seirika, producing a black ball of fire in one hand.
Seirika smiled. "...Takato... I..."
"Eh?"
"I love you, Takato."
Dark Suzakato abruptly stopped, unable to walk any further to reach Seirika.
(End theme)
"ChaosGallantmon, it's time to let the light purge the darkness out of you!" Sakuyamon declared, strengthened by Seirika's bond with Suzakato. "Sakuyamon... Mode Change!" A white column of light engulfed her, removing her golden-armor garb and replacing it with a Miko article of clothing. "Priestess Mode!"
ChaosGallantmon Destructor Mode stopped his advancement and watched Sakuyamon Priestess Mode touching down on the floor.
Wearing a look of determination, Sakuyamon Priestess Mode realized she won't win this battle alone, but that wasn't her intention. She aimed to purify the darkness instilled in him and free him, and Suzakato, from Paradixalmon's manipulation.
YoukaiInumon raised his head, captivated by Sakuyamon Priestess Mode.
"Go for it, Sakuyamon," the dark canine Mega said, giving his partner encouragement.
In no time, everyone else stirred and awoke just in time to witness the face-off between two potential lovers and two Digimon companions.
"Takato..." Seirika said.
"Gallantmon..." Sakuyamon muttered.
"WE WILL SET YOU FREE!"

Canyon Land/Mountain Peak/DXW-06
Are they playing us? wondered Pikkan. "Why on earth do you want us to kill you!" .
"Kill us... Kill us... Kill... Kill..." The two remaining Trinity members continued to say.
BW stated. "I don't either, but it seems that losing their kindred may have caused some kind of mental backlash."
"Either way, we need to wrap this up soon and... huh?" Mercuremon held up his D-Scanner as a bright light flashed from out across all five fighters.
"What the?" said Pikkan as they seemed to be swallowed by the light. When it finally died down, they saw themselves floating above a coliseum like arena. Several Digimon were seen cheering and celebrating for the Trinity Digimon as they defeated foe, after foe, after foe nonstop.
"The Trinity are unstoppable!" shouted a random Digimon from the crowd.
"Yeah, no one can beat them, they truly are champions!" cried another.
BW closely observed the scenery. "Is this a flashback?" Before long, someone wearing a cloak appeared.
"Bah, you three claim to be champions!" The cloaked figure scoffed after leaping onto the fighting platform. "I could take you all on myself."
Raijinmon angrily demanded. "Who are you?"
The figure tossed away his cloak, revealing himself to be Paradixalmon.
"Your worst nightmare! I'm Paradixalmon and you three are coming with me!"
"Not on your life! Giga Cannon!" yelled Suijinmon.
However, Paradixalmon jumped up to avoid the blasts and brought out his sword. "Dark Wolf Blade!" The evil Digimon yelled before slashing Suijinmon hard and knocking the Mega back. He then absorbed him into his chest area and turned to the other two. "Ah, nothing like getting more servants to do my bidding!" The crowd began to flee upon this event as the other two stood poised to attack.
"Give us back our brother!" yelled Fuijinmon as he ran at Paradixalmon. However, the dark Mega formed two cannons on his shoulders and grinned.
"Giga Cannon!" he yelled out blasting Fuijinmon back hard. Raijinmon tried his hand and charged, but Paradixalmon held up his BlackWarGreymon arm. "Grey Nova Cannon!" Raijinmon was caught by the blast and sent flying back as well next to Fuijinmon. Both slammed into a wall and crashed to the ground. Paradixalmon then walked up to them and absorbed them the same way he did with Suijinmon. Then after a few minutes called them back out with dark auras around their bodies. "Ok, so-called heroes, time to prove your loyalty to me. You're going to go and slaughter all of the Digimon who were here watching you and gather their data for me!" With simple flick of his hands, the three Mega Digimon were forced to obey and left the stadium.
The image soon changed and what happened next shocked BW, Pikkan, and Mercuremon to their cores.
Various Digimon were shown being slaughtered by the Trinity. Even children were not spared their rampage. Paradixalmon stood atop the coliseum and watched with delight. Fuijinmon spun down a street and decapitated nearly every Digimon in his way. Suijinmon used his four cannons to blow away entire families without so much as a thought. Finally, Raijinmon let loose a blast of lightning that obliterated a block alone. What was noticeable of all was the fact that while no one else could see it, the three digimon had tears coming their eyes as they now. Soon enough, the vision faded and Pikkan turned to the remaining two.
"So you two wish to die to atone for what you did?" With that, the Alterian thrust his hands together. "BW, help me out! Mercuremon get ready to take their data!"
The other two nodded in response.
Pikkan roared, unleashing his attack from his fists. "Thunder Flash Attack!"
"Terra Destroyer!" yelled BW. His move combined with Pikkan's hit the two Megas hard and released their data codes.
"Join thy brother and I hope for thy redemption," Mercuremon said before scanning both of their codes, leaving nothing in their wake.
"That bastard, Paradixalmon, has got to be found!" said Pikkan with clenched fists and teeth. "I've seen some bad guys in my day, but no one was that evil."
BW had to agree with that. In his view, Virus couldn't even measure up to the atrocities Paradixalmon had committed.
To think my Spirits were once on the side of evil as well. Did they go that far as well? thought Dimitro who was mulling inside Mercuremon's thoughts.
Suddenly, everyone's train of thoughts were erupted. Explosions coming from a far plateau caught their attention.
"I guess there must be others here. Let's go join them," suggested BW as he and the other two headed off towards the battle.
They were unaware the stakes were about to raised.

Canyon Land/Away from the Mountain Peak/DXW-06
Upping their efforts, Celesta X, WarAngemon, and Shoutmon DX unleashed bombardment of beams to hold Arkadimon at bay. Shoutmon DX glided right toward Arkadimon's face and landed a punch that fazed the behemoth. Stumbling back from the impact blow, Arkadimon turned and turned his hand into a blade. He thrust his hand blade and missed his targets. WarAngemon flew right under Arkadimon's chest and landed a kick to his sternum. Celesta X glided over Arkadimon's face and blasted him in the eyes, blinding the behemoth as he madly smashed through rockfaces.
"Keep it up, guys!" Celesta X encouraged them like a good leader would for a team.
Whilst the intense fighting was going on, Metalla X eyed the restraint collar around Arkadimon's neck. He saw Celesta X, WarAngemon, and Shoutmon DX preparing to discharge more blasts at the behemoth.
"Trident JusFang!" Shoutmon DX yelled.
WarAngemon gathered holy energy into his left hand, forging a golden ball. "Seraph Blast!"
Celesta X cried out, expelling a pink beam from her cupped hands. "Holy Beam!"
The beams impacted Arkadimon and repelled him away, far enough to nearly knock him off a cliff's edge. Metalla X saw an opening behind Arkadimon and flew down, charging up a beam in his hands.
"YAMATO!" WarAngemon shouted, noticing his brother taking a dive toward Arkadimon's neck.
"He's going for that collar around his neck!" Shoutmon DX pointed out.
"DON'T DO IT!" Celesta X pleaded, calling out to the Ascendant.
"I've pinpointed his critical spot!" Metalla X declared as he discharged a guided beam that snapped the collar in half. "Time to see if my theory holds true." He opened up his palm and accumulated an energy ball in hand. "Die!" He threw the ball toward the back of Arkadimon's head, who swiftly pivoted around and caught the ball with one hand. "WHAT?"
"YAMATO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" WarAngemon berated his brother's more arrogant personality.
(Cue Dragonball Kai Insert Theme Only a Chilling Elegy)
Celesta X suddenly felt pain in her head as she sensed darkness leaking out of Arkadimon. "His power's growing. Yamato just broke off the restraint that contained his power."
"Ugh, that fool!" Shoutmon DX growled as he turned toward Metalla X. "You've doomed us all!"
Metalla X's eyes widened in shock as he and the others witnessed a black aura covering Arkadimon. The behemoth grew a few inches taller and his frame became bulkier as his power augmented with the darkness coursing through him.
Celesta X shuddered, sensing Arkadimon's growing power. This power... there's no other way... looks like I'll have to unleash that power of mine.

All Lands Outside Canyon Land/DXW-06
As Arkadimon's collar had been knocked off, everyone in the other lands felt a tremendous serge of power rip through them. In Sun Land, both Dramon X and Paradixalmon backed off from each other feeling the power. Beyond pulled out his Digivice and became alarmed and what he saw.
"Oh no, don't tell me..." he muttered.
Dramon exclaimed in shock. "What's going on? Whose power is this?"
Paradixalmon turned back to Beyond. "It's not here, but where...?" Then, when more power leaked from this source, he discerned it carefully and recognized it. "Do not tell me the collar broke off Arkadimon! It took nearly every Digimon we had with us to restrain him the first time!"
Beyond gulped. "Unfortunately that seems to be the case. Looks like Metalla X is the one who broke it as well since his energy was sensed at the time of the collar's destruction."
Omega X became dismayed with this. "Why does he always do this?"
"Father..." muttered Angemon X, who was equally as upset with Metalla X's reckless actions.

In Cyber Land, the Warlord was forced to stop attacking as well wondering what was going on. "Ah great, Arkadimon got his collar off."
"X?" Keke turned toward X, who looked disturbed.
Tike inquired. "What's this crazy power I'm feeling?"
X narrowed his eyes as did the others. They could feel the power increase. I hope Celesta X is there. Otherwise whoever is fighting it stands no chance!

In Vampire Land, the fight with Dark Suzakato and ChaosGallantmon Destructor Mode also halted.
"What is this power? It dwarfs us all!" said Dark Suzakato, probing the overwhelmingly destructive power surging like a volcaone waiting to erupt.
Seirika narrowed her eyes. This isn't good. If whoever that is comes here before I can save Gogglehead... we've gotta be quick about this!
Those who had already finished their fights were also wondering what was going on.

Gold Land/DXW-06
In Gold Land, Sailor Mars nearly faltered upon feeling the power. Sailor Moon, Hiei, Yusuke, and Cammy also felt it.
"Damn! That's some scary ass power!" Yusuke cursed.
Hiei said nothing but pretty much knew this was a power he couldn't trifle with alone.
Cammy gasped. "Sis? What do you make of this?"
"What could be producing this kind of power?" wondered Mars.
'A being of pure terror that could surpass Paradixalmon. That is all I can tell I'm afraid.' Came the Houou's voice in her mind.

Canyon Land/Away from the Mountain Peak/DXW-06
Back in Canyon Land, the monstrous Arkadimon's transformation was almost complete. His body no longer had arms, but it didn't need them as its body became covered by blue fur like-flesh. The creature's body frame was shaped similarly to that of Yggdrasil in Digimon form. It let out a deafening and earth-shattering roar of terror that shook everything to it's core.
"Thanks a lot you idiot! Now we're all gonna die!" Shoutmon DX chastised Metalla X, who was beginning to regret his actions.
Metalla X could feel the overwhelming energy slamming down on them as the beast grew in size. WarAngemon and Celesta X both stood side by side as the monster finished its transformation to a level only a few Digimon could ever hope to reach.
The Super Ultimate level.
