With the sun rising after the long and harrowing night against the Dark Warriors, with the Legendary Warriors beyond tired, along with their injuries now resting in the medical wing.

Thankfully, with Kari unlocking her ascended abilities, there were two extra healers in the DATS Tower, with Davis and Kari both lending their energy to help heal their friends.

The two Ascended Digidestined were then taken off guard when the older TK approached them and bowed lightly, thanking them both for freeing the Legendary Warriors from his world from their fate.

"Really, TK, it was nothing." Davis said reassuringly, not used to TK of all people, no matter what world he was from, being so formal with him.

"I'm serious. I thought they were at peace after my Kari was defeated, that they were free from this nightmare. I should have known that they, along with the Rika and Renamon of my world, remained within the Dark Ones' clutches." The older blond stated, feeling guilty at knowing that some of his friends were still suffering, while others were still following the dark path they were set on.

"It's ok, man, you didn't know. But they're at peace now, we felt it. The Dark Ones can't get to them ever again." Davis said reassuringly, letting the older TK know his friends were safe, bringing a smile to Davis and Kari as they saw him relax a little, certain all the older TK had been through was nothing but an ordeal.

Looking to see Veemon and Gatomon with them, Davis and Kari turned to look at the exhausted Legendary Warriors resting on the medical beds, healed from their wounds, but still drained from their battle.

And looking along the humans of the group, the Digidestined couldn't hide their smiles, not only seeing Zoe resting close to Takuya, the blonde having moved into Takuya's bed in her exhausted state, but looking a few beds down, the four found Ranamon in a similar position, with the Warrior of Water trying to be as close to Koichi as possible and was resting herself on Koichi's chest.

Shifting a little in her sleep, Ranamon smiled away as she snuggled herself closer into Koichi's embrace, even finding the Warrior of Darkness subconsciously sliding his arms around her in his sleep, a sight that caused Davis, Kari and their partners to smile.

However, the peaceful moment ended as Megumi and her PawnChessmon came running down the hallway towards the Ascended Digidestined, the older TK, Veemon and Gatomon, the five seeing the distress within Megumi's eyes.

"We've lost contact with Omega City. They've sent out a distress call, saying they were under attack, then nothing." Megumi let out in clear worry, causing Davis, Kari and their partners to widen their eyes in shock.

Omega City was the second largest city in the Digital World, after Primary City, and was inhabited by many of the Digimon that came from the Tamer's Digital World after the Merge.

There were many Megas in the city, so for it to be calling for backup means that their enemy has unleashed a lot of firepower on them, maybe even the Dark King and Witch Queen themselves.

"Commander Sampson's afraid that this might be a diversion, but we can't take too many chances, especially with Takuya and the others out of commission. You guys are being sent with the Tamers, the other Digidestined and Marcus and his group to investigate, while the Fusion Fighters and Appli Drivers remain here in case the enemy attacks us while you're away." Megumi then said, letting Davis and Kari know that Sampson had more faith in them, but was still cautious in the event their enemies had something devious up their sleeves.

"Shadowknight and I will stay here with Izael, in case that defense isn't enough." The older TK informed, getting the others with him to nod as they followed Megumi to the command room, the blond looking back at the sleeping Legendary Warriors, hoping things wouldn't get too worse before the end.

-Much later-

Within their Ascended Forms, Davis and Kari flew at great speeds towards Omega City, with Magnamon and Nefertimon on either side of them, while behind them, Omnimon, HerculesKabuterimon, both Rosemon, Haslemon, Stingmon, Pegasmon, ShineGreymon, Ravemon, Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, Beelzemon and MegaGargomon flew behind them, while Vikemon, Ankylomon, Justimon, Antylamon, MarineAngemon, HiAndromon and MirageGaogamon moved on the ground beneath them, either carrying their partners or whoever they could as they saw the bright lights of a massive fire on the horizon.

Soon, the group halted as they arrived at the edge of Omega City, finding the place ablaze, the buildings crumbling, with no signs of life, causing HiAndromon to clench his fist in rage.

Back at the DATS control room, everyone watching looked horrified at the sight, while Sora felt nothing but guilt, her friends out there fighting without her, all because of her mistake.

With those in the air landing on the ground near their friends, the heroes present looked around, trying to find those responsible for the destruction, before they saw a figure walking towards them from the flames, with Jeri widening her eyes, fear rising within the brunette to see her dark counterpart emerging from the ruins of Omega City and walk towards her friends with a blank look on her face.

"Do we have any idea what to expect from her?" Sampson asked Izael, who shrugged in reply, not having an answer for him.

"If she is anything like the Jeri from my world, she might have access to the D-Reaper's abilities." The older TK said in reply instead, causing Yamaki to look on in shock, before Shadowknight mentally groaned as he thought of the Jeri that he met from the heroes' world and added. "Or she might have other... skills."

Back on the battlefield, the group took up fighting stances, before the Dark Jeri stopped and looked toward Davis and Kari with the same blank look on her face.

"You will surrender to us, so that we may deliver you to the Dark King, or we shall eliminate your friends and anyone else in our path." The Dark Jeri declared in a neutral tone, this confusing a few as to the way she was speaking, alongside the attitude she seemed to give.

"We will not surrender. And you will answer for your crimes here." Davis said back as he drew out his light blades, while Kari's crystal blades moved and floated around her.

"We do not think so." The Dark Jeri merely replied, her tone and choice of words confusing the heroes once more, where Yolei asked in confusion. "Why is she talking like she's multiple people?"

"We are." The Dark Jeri replied with a smirk, before the heroes looked behind her, seeing hundreds, thousands of beings emerging from the ruins of Omega City, with the Tamers and Yamaki looking especially horrified at what they were seeing.

D-Reaper Agents, legions of them, floating in the air and marching on the ground behind the Dark Jeri, with two of the type 01 Agents, the creature that Gallantmon fought to save his Jeri, landing on either side of the corrupt brunette as they shrieked and screeched at the heroes.

But what shocked the Tamers the most was the lack of cables coming out of each agent, each seeming to be an independent creature as they moved about.

Seeing the confusion on the heroes' faces, the Dark Jeri explained in the same tone. "On our world, we absorbed Jeri Katou into our being, but instead of consuming her, her mind... My mind, became a part of us, overwhelming us, and becoming our own."

"We consumed our world, but It wasn't enough, until the Dark Ones came to us, gave us power, and through it, we evolved." The Dark Brunette said, before something leaped from the back of the D-Reaper army and landed behind her, the sight of which terrified the others who saw it.

Having similar features to the other D-Reaper Agents from the Tamer's world, the new variant looked like a hulking beast.

Amongst its clear display of brute strength with its gargantuan sized muscles, the D-Reaper Agent held a set of horns upon its face, two protruding upward and sticking from out the creature's head, the second expanding from its maw as a set of mandibles.

The Agent's skin, a deep gray in colour, looked torn and damaged, even having its right shoulder bursting out and exposing the red ooze used to create it, bringing a terror to its horrid appearance as it let out a mighty roar, expressing a scream mightier than its weaker brethren.

"What the hell is that?!" Mimi all but screamed, with the Dark Jeri looking behind her and merely replying. "Ravager type."

Looking back to Davis and Kari, ignoring the others, the corrupt brunette continued as she said. "The Dark Ones promised us a reality of our own for our serves."

"They are using you, and will dispose of you when your use runs out." Davis said to the Dark Jeri, hoping to understand to make this version of the brunette realize that they could be friends, not enemies.

"We are aware, but have alternative plans." The dark brunette replied, confusing the heroes, before she clarified and explained. "You both hold the same power they hold, as well as another in this light form. Once we absorb both of you, we will evolve once again, and use our new power to stand on our own, against any who stand in our way."

"We won't let that happen!" Kari yelled as she prepared to fight.

"You have no choice." Dark Jeri replied with a continued calmness in her tone, before disappearing before their eyes, reappearing before Davis and Kari as she slammed her fists into their chests, sending the three flying backwards as Davis and Kari crashed into a rock face behind them, the dark brunette standing before the dust with a dark red energy stream flowing up and down her arms.

"Ok... she's stronger then she looks..." Davis said with a groan as he and Kari flew into the air, looking down at Dark Jeri as she looked up at them.

"Can you guys hear me?!" A voice called through the comms, a familiar one as Henry asked through MegaGargomon. "Dad?"

"Yes. Yamaki called us a few moments ago and apprised us of the situation. We've been going over the data they've collected so far." Janyu informed in reply, before handing the phone to Shibumi, who began explaining what he had discovered so far.

"Their cables may be gone, but the D-Reaper and its agents are still linked in a hivemind state, and that version of Ms. Katou seems to be their Queen, the one organizing them and giving them direction. Stop her, and the drones won't be able to function." Shibumi explained, letting those on the battlefield know what they have to do, before remembering that a massive D-Reaper army, with new variants, was right behind them.

"Demons Disaster!" A familiar voice, though dark and distorted, then declared with fury, causing Gallantmon to move and use his shield to block as a blast of dark lightning struck, causing the knight Digimon to groan lightly, before the attack faded, causing the group to look up and see ChaosGallantmon, along with Dark Justimon, the dark Beelzemon, Black HiAndromon, Dark Suzie, her Cherubimon, Dark Kenta and Leviamon smirking down at them from on top of a ruined building.

"Don't think we're sitting this out!" The corrupt version of Gallantmon said with a wicked laugh, one his followers shared as the darker version of Suzie said with glee. "This is going to be so much fun!"

Sakuyamon and MegaGargomon looked around, confused as to why their counterparts weren't present, but had no time to question the situation as ChaosGallantmon shot at his double, slamming into Gallantmon's shield and pushing him back, before the legions of D-Reaper agents attacks, the Searchers unleashing a barrage of energy blasts that rained down from the sky, along with the Bubble and Optimizer types, while Pendulum Feet, Creepy Hand, Horn Striker and the new Ravager types rushed towards the other heroes.

Retaliating, the Digi-heroes fought back, many charging at the D-Reaper agents, while others kept their distance or tried to attack from the air.

Growling a little and clenching his hands, Beelzemon shot toward the D-Reapers coming to him, despising the creatures more than anything, at what they had done to his world's Jeri and to the alternate Jeri, leading to the biker Digimon all but pummeling through the D-Reapers, punching each into the ground and not letting up until he was certain they were eliminated.

Detesting the creatures themselves, but keeping a more calm and rational side to their battle, Sakuyamon and the other Tamers took on the D-Reaper agents closing in on them, taking steps as to prepare their attacks.

"Mega Barrage!"

"Spirit Strike!"

"Lightning Clap!"

"Atomic Ray!"

With the four Mega Level Digimon devastating the Dark Jeri's forces, staying back, but refusing to not help their friends, Suzie and Kenta acted, each drawing their Digivices and accessing the data of their Digimon Cards.

"Digi-Modify!" The duo let out, tapping the screen of their Digivices and selecting their Digimon Card.

"Flamedramon's Blaze activate!"

"Olegmon's Twin Broadsword activate!"

Their Digimon Cards taking effect, Antlyamon found her arms set ablaze, the flames not harming her, but aiding her power.

"Bunny Blades!" She then called, altering the data within her arms to their axe form, before cutting down several Pendulum Feet, before throwing off the flames from her axes, the propelled flames slicing through and burning dozens of Searchers to ashes.

Through Kenta's Digimon Card, MarineAngemon found himself wielding a miniature set of Olegmon's Broadswords, finding the weaponry adjusted for his tiny frame and allowing him to show his strength.

Swinging the Broadswords with a great might, MarineAngemon smashed the set of blades down upon a Striker's head, cutting clean through the D-Reaper agent, the sight causing Kenta to cheer his partner on.

Seeing the Tamers in action, and knowing they had to do their part as well, the remaining Digidestined and DATS Members leaped into action themselves against the hordes of D-Reaper foes.

"Giga Scissor Claw!" HerculesKabuterimon let out, charging into battle as his pincers cut through the line of D-Reaper agents which stood in his path.

And though the Digimon of Knowledge had left his sides open to attack, having his back, Ravemon stood upon HerculesKabuterimon's back, delivering swift blows with his blade as to take down any D-Reaper agents which tried to ambush them.

"Thorn Whipping!" Mimi and Yoshi's Rosemon announced as one, working together as to swing their rose whips around a set of Horn Strikers, sending a powerful electrical current through their whips and into the Reaper agents, before reeling their arms around and throwing the Horn Strikers into a small faction of Creepy Hands.

Also working as a team, Nefertimon and Pegasmon followed in Magnamon's lead.

"Golden Noose!" The Digimon of Light and Hope both declared as light energy released itself from their leg armaments, wrapping around and binding a Practice Head, this allowing Magnamon a clear hit as his body shone with a great light.

"Magna Blaster!" Magnamon bellowed, releasing the light from out his armour, consuming and wiping out the Practice Head, which let out a great screeching cry before dissolving and breaking away into nothingness.

Proud of his friends, Magnamon gave a brief thumbs up, having some trouble expressing his pride due to his helmet, before refocusing as the trio of Digimon found a great fleet of Pendulum Feet swarming around them.

"Spiking Strike!"

"Tempest Wing!"

"Arctic Blizzard!"

"Gale Claw!"

The attacks slammed through the swarm of Pendulum Feet, many sliced apart, the others encased within ice and shattering apart shortly as they crashed to the ground, this causing Magnamon, Nefertimon and Pegasusmon to look on, seeing Stingmon, Halsemon, Vikemon and MirageGaogamon had their backs, showing the teamwork they established over their years of training.

Seeing their allies winning their fights, as well as Ankylomon smashing his way through a group of Creepy Hands with his spiked tail and armoured skull, Omnimon and ShineGreymon wasted no time to fight back, both launching themselves at the Ravager that had appeared.

"Transcendent Sword!"

"Geo Grey Sword!"

The two Megas ruished at the Ravager, ready to cut it apart, only to be shocked when the beast grabbed Omnimon's blade with its smaller hand, effectively stopping him, before a spiked tendril emerged from the mouth on the bigger arms, wrapping itself around ShineGreymon's head and pulling him in, before the Ravager slammed him head first into the ground, then spun and threw both Omnimon and ShineGreymon into separate directions, with the knight Digimon slamming into HerculesKabuterimon, knocking him and Ravemon back, while ShineGreymon crashed into MegaGargomon as he misfired his rockets, missing his targets and slamming the duo into a ruined building.

"Ok... that one's tougher than it looks..." Omnimon stated to say as he tried to get up, only to look up and see that the Ravager had leaped into the air, before slamming itself into the three Megas, creating a shockwave and a crater, leaving the three groaning in pain as the beast stood over them.

"Guys! Hold on!" Magnamon let out, preparing to add his assistance in the endeavour, only to be stopped when a dozen of the fully formed Jeri-types appeared around them, as well as seeing two more Ravagers move ahead of the remaining D-Reapers.

"Thunder Breath!"

"Corona Blaster!"

"Lightning Clap!"

"Atomic Ray!"

"Storm of Judgement!"

The five attacks slammed into the areas around the Tamers, causing Sakuyamon to throw up a barrier to protect them, where she and those with her saw the remaining dark counterparts approaching them, unnerving Justimon, Beelzemon, HiAndromon, Suzie and Kenta to see their dark doubles grinning at them, knowing the real fight was about to begin.

Nearby, as Gallantmon and ChaosGallantmon battled, the two clashing their lances and seeing no soon end to their fight, Davis and Kari were busy as they fought against Dark Jeri, who moved like quicksilver as she dodged their attacks, while unleashing blasts of dark red energy at them, a force of which even the Ascended Digidestined found to be powerful.

"Your struggle is pointless, your defeat inevitable. Embrace your fates, and become a part of a new beginning." The corrupt brunette said in her neutral tone as she prepared to continue her fight, with Davis and Kari remaining determined to win this fight, no matter what.
