(A/N: Well, I would say Happy Almost Thanksgiving, but that would be a lie. This virus is ruining everything. No family get togethers for me this year. I do hope everyone else is doing well though and staying safe. But enough grim talk, let's get to the good stuff.)

Chapter 152: Savage Knight

The flames surrounded Ophanimon, and she cried out. They weren't normal flames though, as they didn't physically burn her, but they were hot. It was as if the flames were a manifestation of the power that had been contained in the ChronoCore, and they now surrounded and burned within her. It was overwhelming.

A whimper escaped Ophanimon, and she dropped to her knees. She heard Omnimon and Seraphimon call out her name, but they sounded far away. She could feel her power threatening to spill out of her, and she struggled to hold onto it, afraid that she would hurt them.

Flames, as it turned out, were actually a very good representation of the power she now felt. When controlled and tended to, a fire could be of great use and benefit, but if it spun out of control, it could cause unspeakable destruction. Holding onto this much power made her feel like she was indeed going to lose control and have it go wild.

A roar penetrated her consciousness, and she glanced at Omegamon Zwart Defeat. The knight Digimon was still rampaging as her friends tried to fight back. Would she become like that, a raging monster unable to control her own destructive power?

A pair of hands grabbed her, and she turned to see Seraphimon beside her. She quickly pulled away from him and jumped to her feet, backing away. "No, don't touch me!"

"Ophanimon, listen to me-"

"No! Can't you see that I'll hurt you?"

"Kari, listen to us," said Omnimon, stepping forward.

"NO!" she shouted, and the flames rushed outward, filling the area. "This is what I was afraid of. The power of destruction. It's too much for me. I'll just end up hurting people. I can't control it."

Omnimon attempted to hover above the flames as he tried to get as close to her as he could, but Seraphimon stayed where he was, the flames surrounding him on all sides. "But, Kari, don't you see you're already controlling it."

Too afraid to move, Ophanimon looked at her fellow angel Digimon. The flames felt on the verge of slipping out of her grasp, but he was right, so far she had prevented them from even touching him.

"This is too dangerous," she whispered. "All this power can do is destroy."

"Fire doesn't just destroy, Kari," he told her. "It can also purify. It can bring life and warmth. Even when it does destroy, new life rises from the ashes it leaves behind."

He began to approach her, stepping directly into the fire. Both she and Omnimon called out to him, but he ignored them as he closed the distance between him and Ophanimon, letting the flames graze over him.

Still too afraid to move from fear of losing the grip she still had on the power, she pleaded with him as he approached. "Please, I don't want to hurt you."

He came to a stop right in front of her. "Then don't." He suddenly reached out and pulled her into a hug, embracing her flaming body with his. She struggled in his hold, but he refused to let her go. "You could never hurt me."

Slowly, her struggles ceased, and she stood frozen in his arms. The flames continued to run over them both, but neither she nor Seraphimon were harmed.

"See," he told her softly, "you can control it just fine."

At his words, and the realization that came with them, the flames flared upward before they were suddenly drawn back inside Ophanimon. She cried out loudly as power and light erupted from her body.

"Ophanimon Digivolve to… Ophanimon C!"

The light faded away, and Seraphimon stepped back to observe her new form. For the most part, her appearance was the same, but her turquoise armor had turned a sapphire blue. Also, her wings and lance now appeared to be made of fire, burning brightly about her.

"Ophanimon?" Omnimon asked.

"C," she corrected, and looked directly up at him. "It's Ophanimon C."

"I knew you could do it," Seraphimon told her.

She gave him a smile. "Right now, there's something else I need to do." She turned to Omegamon Zwart Defeat. "Let's take this guy."

The flames surged around her, and she charged forward, a stream of fire trailing behind her. Omegamon Zwart Defeat was currently swinging both his sword and his cannon wildly as OmniShoutmon and Gallantmon blocked with their bladed feet and sword of light. Ophanimon C leapt up, doing a flip in the air, then launched herself at Omegamon Zwart Defeat, kicking outward.

Her foot hit the knight Digimon in the side, and Omegamon Zwart Defeat bounced across the ground and down the road. Ophanimon C flew after him and used her Holy Slash, swiping her flaming lance through the air, the strike causing him to crash into a building.

Gallantmon blinked. "Was that Ophanimon? Was she blue? Was she on fire?"

OmniShoutmon got over his own surprise. "No, that was Ophanimon C, her Digivolution. It's a major upgrade that gives her the power of light and fire."

EmperorGreymon limped over, using his sword as a walking stick. "C?"

"It stands for Core," OmniShoutmon replied. "Ophanimon Core. But that means that…"

He looked at Omnimon and Seraphimon as they flew over. "Yes," the latter replied, "she used the ChronoCore that Chronomon gave her."

A section of the building Omegamon Zwart Defeat had crashed into burst apart as the knight Digimon reappeared. He let out a roar and charged towards Ophanimon C. She rushed forward to meet him as he swung his sword, and she brought up her lance to block the swipe.

"Come on," OmniShoutmon told them. "She may be stronger now, but she's still going to need our help."

"They all rushed forward as Ophanimon C and Omegamon Zwart Defeat pushed against each other. Ophanimon C suddenly jumped back, allowing her friends to pass, and EmperorGreymon slashed with his Dragon Soul Sword. Omegamon Zwart Defeat blocked with his sword, and OmniShoutmon circled around to slam into him with his Omni Torpedo.

He pushed the knight Digimon back, crashing straight through a building, until Omegamon Zwart Defeat managed to knock him away. Imperialdramon immediately dropped down from the sky, using his Majestic Strike to send him crashing to the ground.

"Crimson Light!" Gallantmon cried, throwing his spear into the air.

Imperialdramon quickly moved out of the way as a beam came down on Omegamon Zwart Defeat. A roar was heard as the beam tore the ground apart with the knight Digimon in the middle of it.

"Good shot," Omnimon replied as he flew past his fellow knight Digimon.

"Thanks," Gallantmon replied. "How is it that when one of us Digivolves it's like the rest of us suddenly gets stronger too."

"Group morale," Seraphimon stated plainly as he came up beside him. "Hallowed Ascension!"

Lightning came down, striking into Gallantmon's beam. The DigiDestined circled around the combo moves, looking for any sign of Omegamon Zwart Defeat within the beam.

"You finally Digivolved again, and may not even get a chance to test out your power," EmperorGreymon told Ophanimon C.

"Hold that thought," she replied, looking into the beam.

Omegamon Zwart Defeat suddenly burst out, rising up into the sky. "Garuru Cannon and Grey Sword!"

"Spoke too soon, "Imperialdramon commented as he and the others flew out of the way of the attack. Omegamon Zwart Defeat just kept firing, destroying several building in the process.

"Wish we could use our big attacks," Omnimon growled. "Omni Blast!"

With a swipe of his sword, he unleashed an explosion of lightning. Omegamon Zwart Defeat roared and turned to him, but OmniShoutmon was suddenly in front of him, kicking out with his Doom Drillpress. Omegamon Zwart Defeat roared again as the dragon Digimon's bladed foot slashed him across the chest. He swiped with his sword, and OmniShoutmon blocked with his foot, struggling to hold him back.

"Pyro Dragons!" EmperorGreymon cried, stabbing his sword into the ground.

The dragon-headed streams of fire rose up and latched onto Omegamon Zwart Defeat. OmniShoutmon pulled back as Seraphimon flew in and began using his Hallowed Knuckle. Omegamon Zwart Defeat roared and used his Grey Sword Spiral to break free of the fiery dragons, then aimed his cannon at the angel Digimon.

Ophanimon C flew in, and Omegamon Zwart Defeat seemed to detect her presence and turned to her as she stopped just a few feet behind him. "Holy Destroy!"

She unleashed a burst of holy light that hit Omegamon Zwart Defeat at point-blank range. He roared and went speeding to the ground, just as EmperorGreymon was launched into the air. As the two passed by, the dragon Digimon swiped at him. Omegamon Zwart Defeat hit the ground a few moments later with a fresh gash from where he was cut.

Ophanimon C held out her hand. "Volcano Napalm!"

A fireball appeared in her hand, and she threw it at Omegamon Zwart Defeat. It struck the ground right beside him, and a moment later, a large pillar of fire rose up, consuming the knight Digimon.

"Damn," Imperialdramon muttered. "Talk about turning up the heat."

"I could have done more," Ophanimon C replied, "but I didn't want to burn down the city."

The pillar of fire slowly burned out, and a large cloud of smoke rose up where it had been. The DigiDestined waited, and sure enough, Omegamon Zwart Defeat soon came walking out. There was something different about him though; he seemed calmer, and less hostile, almost as if he were in a trance. Then he suddenly dropped to his hands and knees, staring blankly at the ground.

"Whoa," said Gallantmon. "Did he just call it quits?"

OmniShoutmon's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "I don't think so."

They landed in a circle around the fallen knight Digimon, but Omegamon Zwart Defeat didn't even seem to acknowledge them. He stared at the ground, emitting small grumbling sounds, not moving.

"Should we… do something?" EmperorGreymon asked.

"It could be a trick," Imperialdramon pointed out.

OmniShoutmon shook his head. "Omegamon Zwart Defeat can't think rationally enough to play a trick."

They hesitated some more, not sure whether to attack in case that would send the knight Digimon on another rampage. Finally though, Gallantmon inched forward, slowly approaching him. Omegamon Zwart Defeat gave no indication that he even noticed him as he continued to stare at the ground. Slowly, Gallantmon reached out with his spear.

"Careful, Gallantmon," EmperorGreymon warned.

"Maybe you shouldn't…" said Omnimon.

Still keeping his distance, Gallantmon gently poked the knight Digimon with his spear. Omegamon Zwart Defeat roared loudly in response, rising up with his arms raised, and Gallantmon jumped back in surprise as the others regrouped and took fighting stances. Instead of attacking, however, Omegamon Zwart Defeat suddenly began to glow brightly.

"The hell is this?" Imperialdramon exclaimed. "Is he…? But he can't; he just did."

"Omegamon Zwart Defeat Digivolve to… Omegamon Alter-B!"

The light faded, and a new Digimon was present, one far more powerful looking than any of his previous forms, with more advanced armor. Both his cannon and his sword were much larger and more lethal looking than ever, and had switched hands, the BlackMetalGarurumon head now being the sword and the BlackWarGreymon head now being the cannon.

"Damn!" OmniShoutmon swore. "This is the disastrous conclusion I was talking about."

"But… But how?" Ophanimon C cried. "He just Digivolved from Omegamon Zwart to Omegamon Zwart Defeat. How could he Digivolve again so soon."

The dragon Digimon's hands clenched. "The right conditions. It's rare, extremely rare, but the war between the virus and his Vaccine attribute must have concluded. Usually, because Omegamon Zwart Defeat is always damaged by default and is unable to heal, he would die before the virus is able to completely take over. But once it does, this is the result, an even more powerful version of Omegamon Zwart Defeat, without any of the drawbacks and damage."

"That doesn't sound good,' said Seraphimon. "And after we just got the upper hand."

The dragon Digimon glared at him. "It's probably you and Ophanimon's fault. That healing you did on him did nothing to mend him, but it probably strengthened the virus while his body remained weak, allowing the virus to get the upper hand and take him over quickly."

A loud, menacing breath escaped Omegamon Alter-B, and his gaze fell upon the DigiDestined. The madness in his eyes from his previous form was gone, but the hostility was greater than ever, and his gaze was almost blank.

"Well," said EmperorGreymon, "at least it doesn't look like he's going to go crazy again."

OmniShoutmon scoffed. "You may end up wishing he would. In this form, he's lost all sense of himself. And while that may make him less destructive, it also makes him more deadly. We're in real trouble here. Omegamon Alter-B is the most powerful and dangerous of all his forms."

"His overly complicated names are what's dangerous," Imperialdramon growled. "Omegamon Zwart, Omegamon Zwart Defeat, Omegamon Alter-B. I've had enough of it. Let's just finish this before he changes his name to Omegamon Super Dark Alter Zwart Q Divided By Negative Ten or something. Imperial Crusher!"

He charged forward and struck with his electric claw. At the last possible second, Omegamon Alter-B raised his sword and effortlessly blocked Imperialdramon's attack. The dragon Digimon immediately used his Splendor Blade with his other hand. Before he could land the blow however, Omegamon Alter-B knocked his claw away, and then blocked the sword of light.

Leaping up, he used his Supreme Sword, swiping at the dragon Digimon with such power that in addition to the massive gash that appeared on Imperialdramon's chest, the shockwave sent him flying straight into a building, which then collapsed on top of him.

"Bastard!" EmperorGreymon cried, and charged forward. "Flaming Edge!"

His sword became engulfed in flames, and he struck with his Dragon Soul Sword. Omegamon Alter-B easily blocked the attack, and EmperorGreymon used his Purgatory Sword Dance, unleashing a series of combo moves. Omegamon Alter-B blocked and dodged each and every strike before raising his cannon. "Grey Cannon Railgun!"

He fired a blast of darkness, and EmperorGreymon was blasted backwards, tearing the road apart as he skidded along before crashing into a building. Omegamon Alter-B then turned towards the DigiDestined and began calmly stalking towards them, his eyes burning with unfeeling, murderous intent.

"Ok, this is even scarier than when he was rampaging," said Gallantmon.

"We have to stop him now," OmniShoutmon. "Right now, he's still fresh from Digivolving, and he's weak from his previous form and from battle damage. If he gets the time to adjust to his new form and recover his strength, we won't have much of a chance of beating him than we would a Demon Lord."

"Then let's make sure it doesn't come to that," said Seraphimon. "Hallowed Knuckle!"

He began punching out balls of light. Omegamon Alter-B continued to calmly walk towards them, knocking away the balls of light as he did so.

"Final Justice!" Gallantmon cried, firing a beam.

Omegamon Alter-B held up his cannon and kept walking. "Transcendent Cannon!"

His attack blasted straight through Gallantmon's attack, causing it to disperse. Gallantmon attacked again with his Gungnir, throwing his spear. A single swipe of Omegamon Alter-B's sword sliced it in half, and it burst into particles of light.

"It's like he's not even trying," said Ophanimon C. She flew up into the sky, and fireballs appeared in her hands. "Better turn up the heat. Volcano Napalm!"

She threw the fireballs. This time Omegamon Alter-B reacted, leaping from one spot to the next as pillars of fire rose up where the fireballs struck. Then he suddenly charged towards the DigiDestined. OmniShoutmon reacted by using his Heavy Metal Vulcan. A firewall appeared, separating the knight Digimon from them. It only bought them a few second, as Omegamon Alter-B's blade slowly sliced through it.

"Ultimate Uppercut!" Omnimoncried, stabbing upward with his sword when Omegamon Alter-B was visible.

Omegamon Alter-B shifted to the side, and Omnimon's sword only cut against his shoulder rather than stabbing him in the face. Omegamon Alter-B's eyes flashed violently, and he raised his cannon. "Transcendent Cannon!"

Seraphimon tackled Omnimon out of the way before he was hit, and OmniShoutmon flew at Omegamon Alter-B. He kicked out with his Doom Drillpress. Omegamon Alter-B caught his leg and threw the dragon Digimon into a building.

Turning to the remaining DigiDestined, he held up both hands. "Grey Cannon and Garuru Sword!"

Attacks erupted from both hands, and Omnimon, Seraphimon, and Gallantmon were all blasted away, along with a portion of the city. Ophanimon C gasped in horror at the destruction as her friends lost amongst it. Slowly, Omegamon Alter-B looked up at her, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

"Ok then," she said, "time for a little assistance. Call Dramon!"

At her summon, a dragon manifested in the sky beside her. It roared down at Omegamon Alter-B and breathed a massive stream of fire that flowed over the knight Digimon and the surrounding area.

"Be careful!" Ophanimon C told the dragon. "My friends are down there."

The dragon stopped breathing fire and disappeared soon after. Ophanimon C looked down at the fiery landscape, relieved to see that it hadn't spread to the destruction she knew her friends were buried under. But as she searched, Omegamon Alter-B suddenly burst out of the lake of fire and flew up towards her.

"Supreme Sword!" he cried, and swiped his sword.

Ophanimon C tried to block with her Unicorn Shield, but the barrier shattered. She managed to withstand a good portion of the attack that wasn't blocked and quickly countered. "Air Sefirot Crystal!"

A more powerful version of her previous form's attack manifested, amplified by air from the Tree of Life. The crystals shined brightly with an additional pink holy light that Omegamon Alter-B recoiled from before she launched them at the knight Digimon.

Omegamon Alter-B was blasted back, sent flying across the city. He appeared to be dazed, indicating that this was the first time they had really hurt him. And before he could recover, EmperorGreymon burst out of the top of the building he had crashed into. He flew towards Omegamon Alter-B and swung his sword.

His blade was blocked, the knight Digimon had recovered enough to defend against the attack, but it still left EmperorGreymon's sword pointed directly at him. "Dragonfire Crossbow!"

Omegamon Alter-B went spinning backwards from the attacks, and Ophanimon C rejoined EmperorGreymon. "Are you ok?"

"I'll live," he replied, and looked around. "Where's everyone else?"

She looked down at all the destruction and motioned to the rubble. "Somewhere under all that." She turned to a collapsed building. "Except for Imperialdramon. He's still under there. Imperialdramon!"

Her call seemed to stir the dragon Digimon, because a few moments later, he rose up from out of the rubble, rubbing his head. "What happened? Where that Omnimon rip-off?" He winced, his hand going to the gash on his chest. "Geez, that smarts."

EmperorGreymon flinched at the sight of the injury. "That looks bad. You better heal him."

Ophanimon C frowned. "Unfortunately, I can't. I don't have a healing ability in this form. Seems it substitutes healing for more power."

"Don't worry about it," Imperialdramon groaned as he got to his feet. He caught sight of Omegamon Alter-B calmly floating back over to them. "And now that the guy's up in the sky, I don't need to worry about destroying the city. Giga Crusher!"

He fired his strongest attack up at Omegamon Alter-B. The knight Digimon glanced at the incoming energy wave and raised both hands. "Grey Cannon and Garuru Sword!"

His attack collided with Imperialdramon's. It overpowered it and kept coming, and the dragon Digimon's shoulders sank as he realized there would be no avoiding the attack. "This is going to hurt."

The attack fell upon him, and Imperialdramon was lost amongst the blast as Ophanimon C and EmperorGreymon called his name. When the blast died down, Davis was lying in the ground, out cold.

Omegamon Alter-B flew down and landed beside the unconscious Davis. He stared at him for a moment before pointing his cannon at him.

"NO!" Ophanimon C shouted, dropping to the ground a distance away. "Shining Laser II!"

She fired a beam from her hand that struck Omegamon Alter-B, being wary of Davis. The knight Digimon stumbled, and then slowly turned to her as the beam kept coming. He held up his cannon and fired his Grey Cannon Railgun. The beam of darkness pressed against Ophanimon C's beam and began pushing it back.

Ophanimon C kept firing, and EmperorGreymon used the distraction to circle around the knight Digimon to retrieve Davis. Omegamon Alter-B glanced at him while still firing, and Ophanimon C used her Shining Laser III, unleashing even more power, which brought Omegamon Alter-B's attention back to her. Their beams came to a stalemate, and an explosion went off at the meeting point, blowing up a cloud of dust that consumed the angel and knight Digimon.

With Davis securely in his arms, EmperorGreymon began to fly away. But then Omegamon Alter-B suddenly burst out of the cloud of smoke and stabbed the dragon Digimon in the back. EmperorGreymon cried out as Omegamon Alter-B's sword burst out of his chest, barely missing Davis. He slid off the knight Digimon's sword and fell to the ground, Davis still in his arms. He reverted back to Takuya a moment later, unable to move from the lingering pain he still felt from being stabbed.

Once again, Omegamon Alter-B pointed his cannon at Davis, this time with Takuya also in his sights. Before he could fire though, Ophanimon C suddenly grabbed him from behind. "Holy Light III."

A breathy snarl escaped Omegamon Alter-B as he was pulled back while Ophanimon C simultaneously unleashed holy light. She only managed to hold on for a few seconds before Omegamon Alter-B knocked her off. Then he whirled around, kicking her, and she slammed into a building.

Omegamon Alter-B began stalking towards her, her death in his eyes, and she felt a shiver of fear run through her. She pointed her flaming lance at him as he approached, trying to hide her terror.

"Transcendent Sword!"

Omnimon suddenly reappeared with the rest of the DigiDestined that had been buried, rushing towards Omegamon Alter-B. His counterpart turned and blocked the attack, but then he was hit by OmniShoutmon's Omni Core Fusion, blasting him away from Omnimon. Seraphimon hit him next with his Strike of the Seven Stars, and then Gallantmon threw his spear into the air to bring his Crimson Light down on him.

"You guys are alright," Ophanimon C said in relief. "Thanks goodness. I was worried you were badly hurt since you were gone for so long."

"We wouldn't leave you hanging," Seraphimon told her. "It just took some time to get out fro under all that debris."

"Yeah, that attack took a lot out of us," Gallantmon replied.

Ophanimon C nodded. "I can tell. He already used it to turn Imperialdramon back to human. EmperorGreymon's human again too, but I think they'll be ok. We just need to keep Omegamon Alter-B away from them."

Speaking of Mr. Long Name," said Gallantmon, "he's coming back."

Omegamon Alter-B had crawled out of Gallantmon's beam and was now approaching them again. The DigiDestined took fighting stances as he slowly approached.

"We better end this soon," said Omnimon. "I'm not sure how much longer I'll last."

"Same here," Gallantmon reluctantly agreed.

"I have an idea, sort of," Ophanimon C told them. "Maybe it can help us."

"I'm open to anything," Seraphimon replied. "What are you thinking?"

Ophanimon C glanced at OmniShoutmon. "You said he has no sense of self, right?"

The dragon Digimon nodded. "Yes, he's basically in a permanent berserker mode where the only thing on his mind is to kill."

She nodded at that. "I noticed that too. It's like he doesn't really think; he just reacts rather than strategizes or plan an attack. If we can distract him, maybe keep his attention so focused on one of us-"

"Then the rest of us can go in and hit him with some critical attacks," Omnimon finished for her. "Good thinking, sis."

"So which if us distracts him?" Gallantmon asked.

"I will," said OmniShoutmon. "You guys are stronger than I am, you'll be able to damage him more."

"No, I'll distract him," Ophanimon C argued. "You guys are more heavily damaged than I am after taking his attack, and there's a good chance the distracter may need to take another one."

"Just make up your minds of who's doing what, because he's coming," Gallantmon warned.

Ophanimon C turned to their opponent. "Right, here I go."

She flew towards the knight Digimon and unleashed her Holy Destroy. The beam collided with Omegamon Alter-B, pushing him back, but he kept coming as Ophanimon C flew closer. When they nearly met, Omegamon Alter-B swung his sword at her, and she did a flip in the air, avoiding the blade.

"Holy Light II!" she cried, and began shining brightly.

Omegamon Alter-B began to skid back under the light's intensity, but once he regained his footing, he began stalking towards her again, regardless of the damaging light flowing over him. With his attention fixed solely on the angel Digimon, OmniShoutmon flew in with his Doom Drillpress. Ophanimon C saw him coming and increased her attack's intensity to Holy Light III, shining several times brighter and emitting more power.

Omegamon Alter-B came to a stop as the light's power pushed against him. Then he suddenly used his Supreme Sword, swiping at Ophanimon C. She was out of range, but the force of the backlash still knocked her away.

OmniShoutmon kicked outward with his bladed foot. Omegamon Alter-B turned to him at the last possible moment and blocked the attack, making the dragon Digimon swear. "Damn it, he noticed."

Omegamon Alter-B raised his cannon, pointing it directly at OmniShoutmon. But a moment before he could fire, an attack hit him. It was a small attack, but it was soon followed by another of a different kind, then another, and another. Soon, several attacks were bombarding against Omegamon Alter-B, and he turned to the source.

A crowd of the city Digimon had gathered a distance away without any of them noticing, and they were launching one attack after another at him as they booed for him and cheered for the DigiDestined. Omegamon Alter-B stared at them for a few moments before raising his cannon at them while still holding back OmniShoutmon's bladed leg.

The crowd of Digimon gasped as the cannon was pointed at them, but then Omnimon came soaring in. He stabbed forward, burying his sword to the hilt in Omegamon Alter-B's chest. Then Ophanimon C struck, having circled around and stabbing her flaming javelin into Omegamon Alter-B's back. Seraphimon attacked next, using his Excalibur to stab the knight Digimon in the gut.

Gallantmon was last, soaring up over the others and bringing his spear down with both hands to drive it into Omegamon Alter-B from up above. "Burn him!"

"With pleasure," Ophanimon C replied. Pulling her javelin out of his back, she brutally jabbed her hand forward into the wound. "Volcano Napalm!"

Her attack erupted, and fire spread all throughout the knight Digimon. The DigiDestined leapt away as the flames burst out of Omegamon Alter-B and consumed him, burning him from the inside out.

Still burning, Omegamon Alter-B let out another menacing breath and turned to the DigiDestined. He began to slowly walk towards them, covered head to toe in fire. The DigiDestined back away as he approached, but his movements were slower and sluggish. His legs started to wobble, and then he suddenly collapsed. He continued to burn for a few seconds before dissolving into data. And just like that, it was over.

OmniShoutmon dropped to the ground. "Oh, thank the Sovereigns. I wasn't sure we would make it."

"We might not have if it hadn't been for them," said Omnimon, glancing at the Digimon who had come to their aid." He waved to them in thanks. "Thank you. We don't usually get help in battle."

"Especially against someone like a Chaos General," Gallantmon added, "let alone one who's Digivolved beyond that."

One of the Digimon slowly approached. "It was all because of you."

Ophanimon C cocked her head to the side. "Us?"

"You inspired us," another Digimon replied. "Seeing you stand up to three Chaos Generals, and then Omegamon Alter-B."

"The stories of your victories against the Demon Lords were what gave us the courage to fight."

"Those monsters are so strong and have been in power for so long that defeating them just seemed impossible, so we've just accepted their rule."

"But you're showing us that there's another way, that there's hope, that we can fight back, and win."

"Yeah, down with the Demon Lords!"

Cheers rang out among the Digimon, along with more cries of "Down with the Demon Lords!" The DigiDestined stared at the cheering crowd, feeling their own confidence grow.

"I never expected this," said Takuya. "Gratitude is one thing, but full on support. It looks like they're really ready to start fighting back."

"It's beautiful," OmniShoutmon awed, rubbing his tear-filled eyes. "This is what we need. This is how we'll win. The more support we get against the Demon Lords, the greater our chances."

"Most definitely," Gallantmon agreed. "Things are definitely looking up."

(A/N: Well geez, after a really intense battle, Omegamon Alter-B was finally defeated. And you know what that means. Only 2 Chaos Generals left. Hopefully Ophanimon's new form will be able to help them with that. That's right, Ophanimon C is here to stay. Sorry to say, but that means no more Magnadramon, that was just a one time thing, especially since Ophanimon C can't Digivolve any further, not even with DNA Digivolution. But now that the big battle is over, we can get back to the actual plot, so stay tuned for that, because a lot of things from the past are about to come full circle. Two weeks until the next update.)
