Jaden was still on Dharak and was currently heading towards the castle on the very top of Spiral Mountain because according to Mythic Dragon Girl, that's where her father Swordius-Dragoon dwells.

"Alright, we should be at the top of Spiral Mountain any minute now." Jaden stated

"I'll admit this mountain is very tall, it almost looks like it goes forever." Dharak admitted as he continued to ascend.

Jaden has thought the same thing but there was no turning back now. He needed Swordius-Dragoon's power to be able to stand a chance against Dragon. 'I swear I'll send you back to hell where I tossed you.'

Just then they finally broke through the cloud cover and were on the top of spiral mountain. Jaden looked around and all he could see was dark clouds, it was almost like the evil of this place hadn't even left since the Dark Masters were destroyed.

"Now this is a sight isn't it Jaden?" Dharak asked.

"Yes." Jaden answered. "But we don't have time for sightseeing, we must find Swordius-Dragoon." Jaden said.

Looking around some more, Jaden spotted a large structure in the distance. It was a huge dome-shaped palace on top of a mountain with spiked protrusions on all angles.

"Don't need a hint to know that's the place." Jaden remarked.

Without wasting a second Dharak flew to the place.

Meanwhile back on Earth, Kikyo was in a very foul mood, and who could blame her because her great-granddaughters were captured along with her granddaughter-in-law.

"You know torturing yourself won't help them." Sampson stated, understanding what Kikyo was going through.

Kikyo just huffed. "I know, I'm scared ok, I've lost many Kaiju and human friends to that bastard. I nearly lost my step sister and mothers to him, and I lost my Xeno. I'm tired of all this pain Prime Apocalypse has caused."

"There's nothing we can do at the moment Kikyo, we just have to wait until Jaden and others finish the Rite, and then we all can perform it, And get those motherfuckers" Kisara said.

Kikyo just nodded. "I'm going to take a walk to clear my thoughts. I'll be back soon." as Kikyo left the room Mana spoke.

"I think we all should go about our day since things are getting tense." Mana suggested.

"Good Idea, you all deserve a break for the day, head home for now and if anything happens we'll contact you all." Sampson said.

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement before heading their separate ways.

Later Davis, Kari, Mana, and GX Xion met up with DM Xion and Xia who were still recovering from the news of their brother's death.

"Hey Xion, how are you holding up?" Kari asked.

"Pretty well, we didn't cry cause we knew Xeno would hate us if we cried over his death." DM Xion answered, her brother was a tough person, he hated to see his sisters cry and he practically told them to their faces 'you better not cry if I die one day if you do you better not come to my grave'.

"You both are pretty tough." GX Xion told the two female Jamesers with an amused smile.

"Of course we are, we are Jamesers after all we are the toughest family." DM Xia smirked. "You're a Jameser from another Universe right? You must be really strong aren't you?"

GX Xion smiled. "I am, I'll admit it was hard when my father Xeno died but I eventually learned to live with it but I still wished that he was alive and with us." GX Xion admitted

DM Xion nodded. "The same with us for our dad, he was killed by Myotismon and we had to be strong for him, and our brother Xeno was always there for us."

"Yeah, people say big brother was a mean person, but he had a soft side to himself that he barely showed people." DM Xia stated.

Davis smirked before speaking. "So how is your mom holding up?"

"She's doing fine as expected, Dad is watching after her." DM Xion said, their stepfather was Matt Ishida's dad who Xeno still didn't accept no matter how many years go by Xeno would only have one father in his life at least that was what he thought.

"Well I'm glad she's doing fine." GX Xion said, glad that her counterparts are doing well.

"Hey other Xion, can I ask you something?" DM Xia asked.

"Of course you may." GX Xion smiled

"Can I fight you?" DM Xia asked shocking Mana and GX Xion but Davis. Kari and DM Xion have sweat down their foreheads.

GX Xion smiled awkwardly. "Ah, no thanks, it'll be like fighting my own little sister." GX Xion explained

"Aww, come on I fight gangs twice my size and my brother never holds back on me when we train." DM Xia complained. "I want to be strong like my big brother so I can protect my friends and family."

DM Xion just smirked. "Trust me she's much stronger than she looks, trust me our mom and brother hold nothing back when they spar with us."

GX Xion smirked back as well. "Oh I was trained by my father, and I've also fought against a few Kaiju that wanted to kill us." GX Xion smirked back

"Makes no difference to me, as my brother says a Jameser always strives to be the best, and in order to be the best we need to beat the best." DM Xia said.

"Yeah, that does sound like Uncle Xeno." Mana muttered

"You should accept those two are just like our Xeno and they won't stop until they get their fight." Davis smirked.

GX Xion smiled. "Fine, it's been a while since I had some exercise since quitting being a battler and focusing on my job." GX Xion commented

"You quit being a battler?!" DM Xion and Xia exclaimed in shock.

"No wonder, you must be out of shape." DM Xia muttered as she got into a fighting stance

"Then allow us to teach you a Jamerser never quits something." DM Xion said, also getting into a fighting stance.

"We'll see about that." GX Xion said as she got in a fighting stance as well.

"I'll be the referee." Davis said as he, Kari, and Mana moved to the side. "Let me guess dead or Incapacitated Xion?"

"You know me so well." DM Xion smirked, her blood starting to boil, as well as DM Xia and GX Xion's.

"Begin!" Davis called out as all three Jamesers rushed at each other with mighty war cries.

Well at first it seems that GX Xion was having trouble fending off both DM Xion and Xia, she was actually analyzing their movements and waiting for the right moment to strike.

"So far it looks even out there." Kari commented.

"It does." Davis added.

At that point, Belial appeared next to Mana. "No, our universe Xion is clearly in the lead." Belial explained confusing Mana, Davis and Kari.

Davis thought for a minute and caught on. "Oh I see, she's analyzing their movements she'll understand how they fight, clever Xeno does the same thing when he's not angry."

"That's right, also their fighting style also has a difference in this." Belial explained further. "Our Xion is keeping her movements to an absolute minimum unless absolutely necessary while in comparison your Xion along with her sister are moving much more, soon they'll be out of stamina." Belial said as he finished his explanation.

And just as Belial finished explaining, DM Xion and Xia were starting to get tired while GX Xion was still full of energy due to not moving around much.

"She's... good…" DM Xia stated.

DM Xion was out of breath too but her eyes widened as she figured out her counterpart's plan. "We've… lost… you were…. analyzing…. our moves and…. wearing us down."

"Got it in one." GX Xion smiled

"Doesn't matter, I'm not going down without a fight." DM Xia said not ready to give up.

GX Xion rolled her eyes at her aunt's counterpart's behavior. "Geez you're more stubborn than my aunt." GX Xion said as she gave a 'bring it' gesture with her hands.

"We're Jamesers you should know better than anyone else we are stubborn to the end." DM Xion smirked.

GX Xion just chuckled, she got her there as far as she remembers she and her brother Xavier are stubborn to a fault like their father, and she's not surprised these two aren't any different.

"Very well, then out of respect, I'll show you the ultimate psychic power!" GX Xion exclaimed.

"Looks like she's about to go all out." Mana said in worry, there were only a few times her Xion would go all out. It would seem fighting these two has brought out a fire that Xion's been missing for a while.

GX Xion gave a mighty roar as she released a surge of power that caused all the trees and ground to shake, Kari and Mana were losing their footing while Davis expression changed, no one from Jaden's group had ever seen this side of him before, he only became like this when he takes a fight completely seriously.

GX Xion finished charging up her power as her hair stood up, DM Xion and Xia were shocked to see anyone having this much power, GX Xion gave them a sinister smirk. "Now let me show you a favorite move my dad loved to use."

GX Xion placed her palm in front of her before she began to gather energy. "Strike… THUNDER!"

"Xion No!" Mana called out but it was too late.

GX Xion then thrust her arm forward, firing a beam of concentrated energy at both DM Xion and Xia who were too scared to move, then out of nowhere Davis appeared in front of them with a serious expression.

"Davis…." DM Xion uttered in shock.

The DigiDestined of Miracles brought his hands together right as the attack hit home, Davis was pushed back an inch before Davis was slightly struggling with the attack before Belial stepped in and absorbed the excess energy from GX Xion's attack which allowed Davis to throw the attack into the sky.

GX Xion calmed down before reality caught up with her. "Oh no, what have I almost done?"

Davis sighed. "It's ok, no one was hurt so no harm done."

"But… it was almost like I became a different person, that never happens." GX Xion stated.

"Yeah what happened back there?" Mana asked.

"I don't know." GX Xion said before glancing at her and her aunt's counterpart. "Please forgive me for what I've done." GX Xion said as she bowed

Both sisters looked at each other and smiled. "It's fine, you just got too into the fight and let the thrill take over." DM Xia said.

"Our brother is the same way, so don't sweat it." DM Xion added. "But we are nothing compared to Xeno. If he was here you would have a tough time fighting him."

"I'm aware of that." GX Xion said as DM Xion smirked

Meanwhile back on Spiral Mountain, Dharak finally reached the castle.

"Finally we're here." Jaden said as Dharak landed directly in front of the castle entrance.

"I can sense he's in there." Dharak said.

"Right, let's do this." Jaden said as they made their way inside.

The interior of the castle looked like it had been recently renovated with new paint, some paintings of landscapes, and Kaiju. He was surprised to see a painting of Catona and his past lives younger self-standing in front of her with Catona's hand on his shoulders. Seeing that painting made his heart tug, but he pushed on, after a few minutes of searching they ended up in the throne room, where they saw Swordius-Dragoon sitting in it.

"Well, look who became king while I was gone." Jaden smirked.

"Very amusing, why have you come here Master Jaden?" Swordius-Dragoon asked.

"I need your power." Jaden said.

"You wish to recruit me for your battle? Or have you come to perform the Rite of Channeling?" Swordius-Dragoon asked surprising Jaden that he knew about it.

"How do you know about it?" Jaden asked out of curiosity.

"Catona once told me, and a select few only." Swordius-Dragoon answered as he stood up. "But you'll need more than strength and a good strategy to earn my power."

Jaden just narrowed his eyes. "I'll do whatever it takes to earn your power."

Swordius-Dragon's eyes glowed as a burst of energy occurred before he changed into Grand-Dragonic-Arthur. "Then show me your determination, my Lord." Grand-Dragonic-Arthur roared as his battle mask was deployed and his swordstaff projected an energy axe blade from the front and an energy blade from the back.

Jaden wasted no time before loading 2 ability cards. "Better start this battle with a bang." Jaden said. "Double Ability Activate! Thunder Probe plus Darkness Glow!" Jaden announced

Dharak's body began to glow, a pulsating aura surrounding him, the aura began to charge a massive blast of dark lightning.

At the same time, Dharak's two purple head horns crackled dark purple lightning between them, charging up an electric attack. Between both electric based attacks, sparks of lightning jutted out uncontrollably, making substantial dust clouds when they hit the ground.

Grand-Dragonic-Arthur just stood there as the combined electrical attack came his way before he swung his swordstaff, creating a mighty shockwave.

The shockwave generated by the attack was strong enough to cancel out Dharak's combined electrical attack with no problems at all.

'This will be more difficult than I thought.' Jaden thought in frustration.

"My lord you're going to need to try harder if you are to defeat me." Grand-Dragonic-Arthur stated.

"You won't be so confident for long." Dharak said.

"Change of plans, we need to use the Battle Gear." Jaden said as he pressed the buttons on his gauntlet, purple particles appeared and assembled a device.

"Ready: AirKor."

"Battle Gear… Boost!" Jaden called, throwing the Battle Gear at Dharak. When the device connected, a bright purple flash resulted.

When the light subsided, Dharak had equipped his Battle Gear. Two wings made from golden diamonds replaced Dharak's natural wings. A metal attachment between the wings rose high. Another golden diamond was on Dharak's chest, connecting the two wings. Green armor was on Dharak's short limbs.

"Alright my old friend now let's do this." Jaden announced with determination.

"Indeed." Grand-Dragonic-Arthur stated.

Meanwhile, back in the Prison Cell in Nowhere, Alice was visited by Dragon.

"How are you doing beautiful? Feeling comfortable." Dragon asked with a sarcastic tone

"I would be if you would go away!" Alice growled, she wanted to curse at him but with her daughters here she refrained from doing so.

Dragon just smirked. "Same old Alice, so strong and passionate."

"Don't talk about our mom like you know her! When our Daddy comes he'll kill you!" Yami exclaimed.

Dragon just smirked at Yami. "We'll see about that, won't we Dark Dharak." Dragon asked as he held Dark Dharak who was currently close in ball form in his hand.

"Yes, we will." Dark Dharak said.

"Why don't you two go blow yourselves!" Impmon said, gaining their attention. "I've seen enough of your types before, and it always ends with your deaths."

"Maybe." Dragon admitted. "But at the very least I could still cause some damage before I bite the dust." shocking Impmon at how little Dragon cares about how he values his own life.

"Damn, I can't get a read on this guy." Impmon thought as he could feel the energy around Dragon which almost terrified him.

Alice glared. "You just don't care about anything, do you? I find it hard to believe you were ever my Jaden!"

Dragon just smirked before leaning in to whisper something to Alice. "Well to be honest Lord Prime Apocalypse has decided to groom you to be his beloved, you should be honored." Dragon whispered into Alice's ear before standing up.

Alice's eyes widened, Prime Apocalypse was planning to make her his queen similar to Chaos Breaker and Mana. Dragon smirked, before turning around.

"Enjoy your time Dear Alice." Dragon said before leaving.

"Mom, are you ok?" Hikari asked in worry.

Alice was still in shock by the revelation she heard, Impmon who had heard the whisper thanks to his super-sensitive hearing spoke. "I understand you are in shock, but you need to stay calm so we can bust out of here."

"How can we bust out? They have this place completely sealed off." Yami asked.

"Your mother's Gentle Darkness combined with my partner's crest might be enough to tear a hole in digispace if concentrated right." Impmon said, before looking at his Partner. "And possibly might be enough to bring him back, you all are going to need his strength."

Alice nodded. "I understand, let's do it." Alice said

Unknown to them, Dragon was listening in to the conversation. "Better report this to Prime Apocalypse." Dragon muttered before leaving to report this

Meanwhile in a different part of the base, Prime Apocalypse was busy until Dragon came to report something to him.

Master, I have something to report to you." Dragon said as he bowed.

"Speak." Prime Apocalypse said.

"Impmon is planning to use Alice's gentle darkness along with his deceased partner's Crest of Darkness in order to escape and possibly revive his dead partner." Dragon reported.

"Is he now?" Prime Apocalypse asked. "In that case, Dragon, you may move my wife and her daughters to another location."

"Very well Master." Dragon bowed before leaving.

Alice listened to Impmon's instructions as she gathered the right amount of energy for this.

"You know a lot about darkness, see the crest absorbs darkness and the more it absorbs the stronger it gets," Alice asked.

"Yes, originally it was Nobu's crest. He could use it well, but not it's full potential since Xeno has a strong amount of darkness in his heart it allows him to access incredible power." Impmon stated before he felt an energy approaching and he knew who it was.

"Hurry up, Dragie's coming." Impmon warned.

"It's not enough to send all of us back to earth, only two can go." Alice said.

"Send your girls back." Impmon said.

"What about Xeno?" Alice asked, knowing this might be the last chance but no. "I'm sending you and Xeno back to earth, Prime Apocalypse won't hurt us, I know it."

"You sure?" Impmon asked but he could see a determination in Alice's eyes.

"Trust me, even if I send them back they'll just be hunted again." Alice said, before launching her darkness at Xeno's crest, which began to spark with purple lightning before it started to open a dark void around both human and Digimon.

Impmon looked at Alice and spoke. "We'll come back for you, I swear!" he exclaimed as the void swallowed the two up.

Dragon then arrived and looked around, seeing that both Impmon, as well as the corpse of his partner Xeno, were gone as well. "Well, I was planning on transferring you and your daughters to another location but since you decided to stay and instead sent that rodent as well as that corpse of that loser Xeno away, who am I to complain?" Dragon said.

Alice just glared. "I know you were listening to us, so I didn't have time to gather the energy to send all of us to somewhere else. I decided to send Impmon and Xeno knowing they'll be more useful at the moment."

"Besides, if I know you and Prime Apocalypse well enough you would have gone after them again no matter what." Alice stated.

Dragon just held his hands up. "Maybe, maybe not." Dragon answered

"We're not scared, Daddy and our family are coming to save us, and all you bad guys will lose." Hikari stated.

"Yeah, our dad is the strongest, well next to grandpa and grandma and great-grandma. But he's much stronger than you." Yami added.

"And I can't wait for when we battle again on equal ground." Dragon stated before leaving.

While Dragon was walking through the hallway, Dark Dharak appeared. "Master, you seem to be fond of the children for some reason, why is that?" Dark Dharak asked.

"Perhaps because of the original Dragon's memories when he was still fighting against them when they were still young." Dragon answered. "It doesn't matter soon, I'll be rid of Jaden and bury the past."

Meanwhile back at the battle between Jaden and Grand-Dragonic-Arthur.

"Alright take this." Jaden announced as he loaded an ability. ""Battle Gear Ability Activate!", he yelled. "AirKor Zayin!"

All of the golden parts of Dharak's Battle Gear glowed bright purple, as if corrupted. An innumerable amount of particles, all black in color, rose around Dharak. Dharak was charging up his endgame attack. And after a few seconds to fully charge the attack, Dharak unleashed his Battle Gear's power, sending the black particles in all directions around him.

Grand-Dragon-Arthur however just nimbly flew past each of the particles heading his way, but as he neared a mass of particles in close proximity to each other. Grand-Dragonic-Arthur just swung his swordstaff and tore through Dharak's endgame attack like it was nothing

"Impossible." Dharak announced as his eyes widened in shock.

Jaden bit his lip, nothing they did even phased him, Dharak was his most powerful partner besides Nillious but Grand-Dragon-Arthur was swatting their attacks aside like they were nothing.

Grand-Dragonic-Arthur then landed on the ground before posting his swordstaff at Dharak. "Is that all you have? Where was the fire in your heart when we faced each other the first time?" Grand-Dragonic-Arthur asked

'Oh great he's getting cocky, one thing I hate more than anything is an old friend who gets cocky.' Jaden thought.

"Like I said before it takes more than strength to earn my power." Grand-Dragonic-Arthur stated. "Observed."

Grand-Dragonic-Arthur then started glowing before he cast a spell. "Seize Glory! He announced as a ray of light hit Dharak disabling his Battle Gear.

"What the?" Dharak said in shock.

At that point, a majestic lance appeared in the sky before it fell and Grand-Dragonic-Arthur grabbed hold of it with his other hand wielding the lance alongside his swordstaff. "Come forth HeavenRouseSpear Rhongo-Mynias!" Grand-Dragonic-Arthur roared

"Incredible." was all Jaden could say, he was shocked to see that Grand-Dragonic-Arthur was still hiding so much power.

"My lord, why do you want power?" Grand-Dragonic-Arthur asked again.

"I want it to stop Prime Apocalypse." Jaden answered.

"Again why do you want my power? Are you only going to use it to get revenge or are you planning to betray your family again?" Grand-Dragonic-Arthur questioned which hit home, that was still a memory that would never go away.

"I know what I did, and I've been trying to make amends for my family, friends, and my uncle. I need your power to protect them to make sure Prime Apocalypse doesn't hurt anyone anymore." Jaden answered.

"And if you win? What will you do then?" Grand-Dragonic-Arthur asked. "You are blinded by the Trauma of your past, and unable to move forward with your life, you are basically running away from yourself."

Jaden knew he was right he couldn't admit it, it was just like what Alice and Dark Alice said. He was pushing those he was close to away like the time when he became Dragon, he's been neglecting his daughter cause he was afraid he would hurt them. Yes he wanted power to kill Prime Apocalypse, but that was too shortsighted, from what he was taught by his parents and family members especially what his dad told him what he said to his uncle Seto.

'Back then he only Dueled for power, and his own selfishness and if he continued to neglect his past he would never be strong.'

'That right, I've been selfish. Most of the things I've done was out of my own pain and hatred, and in that, I've betrayed my family and friends, nearly killed my own sister who believed in me even though i deserved to be hated, and now I'm running the past as well which in turn is hurting my loved ones still.'

"I've been selfish." Jaden admitted gaining Grand-Dragonic-Arthur's attention. "I've been running from the past, which in turn affects my family and friends."

"I don't want your power to defeat Prime Apocalypse and Dragon, I need it to protect all those I hold dear, for I still feel I need to make amends not only with them but with myself as well, please I need your power to protect all of them." Jaden begged.

Grand-Dragon-Arthur contemplated what Jaden said for a while before turning around. "I'm granting you my power." Grand-Dragonic-Arthur stated before walking away.

Jaden looked at Grand-Dragonic-Arthur. "Really?"

Grand-Dragonic-Arthur stopped but didn't turn. "You have taken responsibility for your past, and are finally understood, but my lord you still have a long way to go."

Without warning Grand-Dragonic-Arthur, fired a strong beam of light at Jaden who screamed in pain for a second before it died down. "My power is now yours, use it wisely." he said before walking towards the exit to the room.

Jaden took out the Rite Crystal and saw it was glowing in a strong holy light. "Thank you my friend, for granting me your strength and helping me understand."

Grand-Dragonic-Arthur just nodded as he retreated further into the castles chambers

Jaden then noticed that not only was the Rite Crystal glowing with Grand-Dragonic-Arthur's power but Jaden also gained a new card.

Jaden then turned to Dharak. "You ready to go Dharak?" Jaden asked.

"I thought you'd never asked." Dharak replied as Jaden leaped back on Dharak's back who was ready to leave Spiral Mountain.

"Let's head back to the castle, perhaps Kikyo has told Valice and Stella something." Jaden said.

Kikyo was about to take a sip of her herb tea before she growled, almost crushing her cup.

"I'm going to kill him one of these days!" Kikyo growled, knowing that her grandson had called her by her first name again.

While Jaden and Dharak were on their way to Valice's castle, a massive stream of black and purple flames were heading their way.

"Evade Dharak!" Jaden called out as Dharak evaded the attack.

Jaden looked to where the attack came from and he was shocked to see his old foe Zenon who was riding a new dragon Kaiju that has a similar body structure to Dharak but has armor covering his legs and tail and has two curved horns

"It's been awhile Jaden." Zenon stated.

"Not long enough for my taste, I should have known Prime Apocalypse would bring you, bastards, back." Jaden said eyes narrowed.

"Correction, I survived our battle, both me and Ryouko, the others were not so lucky." Zenon corrected.

"Then allow me to finish what I started." Jaden stated.

"Try it, this is my new partner." Zenon said as he introduced his new Kaiju. "Meet DragonTwelveGodKing Ourovorius!" Zenon said as Ourovorius roared.

"No matter how many partners you get, they will all share the same fate." Dharak roared as he opened his mouth, channeling energy into his maw. Dharak quickly fired an orb of purple energy ahead, aiming in Ourovorius's general direction. Then, he launched three more identical orbs, all with similar accuracy

"Ourovorius, Nobis Vulcan!" Zenon announced

Ourovorius quickly countered by firing a massive stream of black-and-purple flames from its maw towards the orbs causing a series of explosions

"Don't let up the attack, Crystal Feathers!" Zenon shouted.

Ourovorius than psychokinetic launched crystal-shaped projectiles from his wings at Dharak through the dusk and smoke. As soon as the Crystals hit Dharak they exploded on impact.

"Ahhhh." Dharak yelled as soon as he was hit.

"Dharak, you alright?" Jaden asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I could still battle." Dharak said.

"Good, let's go." Jaden said as he loaded two abilities, "Double Ability Activate! Evil Blast, plus Darkness Glow!"

Dharak opened his mouth, amassing energy within. A moment later, Dharak unleashed a beam of dark purple energy towards Ourovorius.

Right afterward, Dharak, without stopping his current attack, channeled more energy into his twin horns. The two started glowing purple, with bolts of lightning crackling through the air. Yelling an animalistic roar, Dharak fired the lightning into his energy blast.

The two attacks conjoined into one large dark blast, supercharged with dark lightning and energy, and going right for Ourovorius.

"Spellbind Shower!" Zenon shouted

Ourovorius let loose much more power than ever before his red eyes and the crystals all over its body glow immensely, emitting several streams of purple dragon-shaped energy projectiles that's raining down at Dharak and his combined attack like a meteor shower.

Dharak's combined attack was overpowered and Dharak was devastated by Ourovorius's attack after the assault Dharak was on the ground along with Jaden

Jaden slowly got up and groaned in pain. "Damn it…. He's much stronger than I thought."

Jaden wasn't done, he wasn't about to lose to Prime Apocalypse's lapdog, he had come too far to lose and he could feel Dharak felt the same way.

"It seems that you aren't the strongest anymore, and it would seem you got soft while I was away, it must be the brats of yours." Zenon mocked.

Jaden just scoffed. "My kids don't make me soft, they make me strong. They give me the will to keep fighting along with my wife, my family, and friends."

"And your master only fights for himself, along with you. You'll never understand the power of bonds." Jaden added just then the Rite Crystal began to glow, getting Jaden and Zenon's attention.

At that point the Rite Crystal containing Grand-Dragonic-Arthurs power was glowing and at that point Jaden knew what to do, as he grabbed it from his jacket pocket.

'I can feel it, Grand-Dragonic-Arthurs power…' Jaden thought in awe that he could feel the vast power his old friend had bestowed on him.

"O' Slumbering Kinship, Awaken." Jaden chanted as the power in the Rite Crystal was transferred to Dharak

As soon as the power that Grand-Dragonic-Arthur bestowed upon the Rite Crystal was transferred to Dharak, Dharak immediately experienced a change in his body.

'This power, it's incredible!' Dharak thought as he felt Grand-Dragonic-Arthur's power flowing through his veins.

Zenon remained calm, even with that newfound power they were no match for them. "It matters not even with that extra power, you can't defeat us."

"We'll see about that." Jaden stated before looking at Dharak. "Dharak, Rebirth!"

At that point, Dharak began glowing, and as the light died down, Dharak's appearance changed completely.

Dharak was now completely humanoid, he gained a hybrid of Knight and samurai armor. His wings have now turned into a pair of energy wings with 5 energy feathers each.

Dharak looked at his new body in amazement before clenching his fists. "Amazing, I can feel Grand-Dragonic-Arthur's power surging through me." Dharak said

"That look suits you partner." Jaden stated, before glaring at his opponent. "Now it's time to show these two what real power is."

Zenon glared, not wasting a second before announcing another attack. "Ourovorius, Spellbind Shower!" Zenon called out once again.

Once again, Ourovorius let loose much more power than ever before his red eyes and the crystals all over its body glow immensely, emitting several streams of purple dragon-shaped energy projectiles that's raining down at Dharak like a meteor shower.

This time Dharak stood still as he used his energy wings to block the entire assault.

"Impossible…!" Zenon said in shock.

As soon as Dharak unfolded his wings, he quickly ascended to the skies. "Grand Strike!" Dharak announced as he descended at high speed towards Ourovorius

"Ourovorius, strike back!" Zenon called out as Ourovorius flew into the air with the intent to meet the attack head on.

As soon as both Dharak and Ourovorius collided in the air, a shockwave occurred.

Kikyo had finally calmed down and was now thinking more clearly, she was still upset that her granddaughter in law and great-grandchildren were kidnapped but getting angry wouldn't help much, she could do was wait until Jaden and others completed the right, she was thinking of going through it as well she was not staying of this fight.

Kikyo just sighed. "Things just keep going from bad to worse, the universes aren't being kind to us like usual."

Just then doors opened and Dumjid walked in, Kikyo just smirked. "About time you returned, I was thinking about putting an order in for a tombstone and flowers."

"Why?" Dumjid asked

"You know, in case we have to bury you." Kikyo smirked, of course, Kikyo was joking she wouldn't want anyone she knew to die, especially her husband even if he was married to her. but Daisuke will always be her true love no matter if she remarried. "So found out anything?"

"Well, I did get in contact with an old associate of mine." Dumjid said. "He managed to give me some interesting information."

"The information being?" Kikyo asked.

"Well let's just say that Viloch is still honoring his agreement after losing the Battle Judgement with us." Dumjid explained.

"That's good, I still hate him though." Kikyo stated, Viloch was the three-headed dragon golden Bakugan who sat on the supreme council, he and some on the council tried to sever the links to all three worlds luckily thanks to Jaden and the others it never came to pass.

"So anything happened while I was gone?" Dumjid asked.

Kikyo just bites her lip, which Dumjid took as bad news. "Alice, Yami, and Hikari were taken…"

"I'm sorry to hear that, have you told Jaden yet?" Dumjid asked.

"No, I told Valice and she'll tell him when he returns to their base." Kikyo answered.

"I see." Dumjid said before changing the subject "Also I would try to tell the kids to forget about bringing their Xeno back."

"What are you talking about? Those kids lost a friend and this time I'm not letting a Xeno stay dead." Kikyo said.

"I'm were aware of that but please think about it, the few artifacts that are capable of reviving him belong to Cray and since Viloch is still the leader of the Supreme Council he has all the say, now if he finds out that we broke a taboo, no matter the reason he won't be so forgiving, the other members might be reasonable and since New DigiCray is composed of both Cray and New Vestroia." Dumjid explained

"I'm not scared of him, and I am willing to bet the Bakugan of New Vestroia and the Digimon of the Digital World will revolt against him and the Digiheroes will no doubt join in along with me." Kikyo said

"50/50 on the Bakugan of New Vestroia." Dumjid confirmed. "As for the Digimon, I'm not sure, since they are also sentient to a degree and some of them detest humans or look down on humans."

"But it's our fault that this world's Xeno is dead." Kikyo stated. "Prime Apocalypses is our enemy, and we must make things right."

"And I agree with you, but at the rate Valice has going, another Battle Judgement is inevitable." Dumjid replied

"The Council will just have to deal with it, there laws don't affect another worlds laws, we can't just force another universe to obey our worlds laws, that almost like slavery." Kikyo said.

"Trust me, the council members are arguing about what you just said." Dumjid replied. "But you're forgetting one fact, that all versions of the digital worlds have merged, so some high-ranking digimon have agreed."

"That's bullshit, after all the Digiheroes did, they are turning on them?" Kikyo said in disgust.

"All living beings are like that, it's in their nature." Dumjid said as he looked Kikyo in the eye. "You can't just force them to accept a group of humans despite what they have done even if they object." Dumjid countered causing Kikyo to become silent before getting up and leaving

Back in New DigiCray at Spiral Mountain,

The battle between Dharak and Ourovorius has reached its peak, at that point Zenon has had enough and decided to postpone the battle for now.

"Ourovorius, it's time to go." Zenon announced as he created a portal

"Running away?" Jaden questioned.

"No, I decided to battle you later on another day, farewell." Zenon said as Ourovorius flew through the portal before closing.

"Looks like we win for now." Dharak said before he turned back to his previous form.

"Yes." Jaden said, looking at the RIte Crystal in his hand. 'I'm ready to protect my friends.'

"It's time for us to return to base, master." Dharak said.

"Yeah, let's go." Jaden said as he boarded his partner before they made their way back to Valice's castle.

Meanwhile, Valice and Stella were relaxing until a dark purple void opened up above the. which both Queen's were shocked at first but got into fighting stances as they watch something emerge from it, they were surprised to see Xeno Jamerser and his Impmon emerge from it as they fell to the floor, of course, Xeno's body landed on Impmon.

Impmon growled as he felt the full weight of Xeno's body on him. "Grr… you know for a dead man you weigh too much Xeno!" he looked and saw Valice and Stella surprised to see them again.

"You mind helping me a bit?" Impmon asked.

"Whatever." Stella said as she pushed Xeno's dead body off Impmon with her feet. "There, happy now?"

"Yeah, but I'm pissed you did that to him." Impmon said dusting himself off.

"Well I'm Pissed that your shit-for-brains partner spoke to me in such a disrespectful tone." Stella said as she lifted Impmon by his scarf

"Oh you're one to talk to queenie you aren't exactly respectful to others yourself." Impmon countered.

Please say that again will you?" Stella smiled

"I'll say it again! You're-aghhh." Impmon shouted as Stella slammed him to the ground.

"Enough! Both of you" Valice exclaimed knowing this will go on forever, and she was not in the mood for these two's arguing, which both of them just glared at each other.

"Impmon, how did you get here?" Valice asked.

"Your reincarnation used her power along with my partner's crest of darkness to make a hole in digispace." Impmon answered. "I was hoping that we would end up on earth, but it seems there wasn't enough power and we ended up here somehow."

"Great, we're stuck with a corpse and an imp." Stella said in a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah and I'm stuck with a witch." Impmon countered.

Before Stella could counter, Valice spoke up. "Not now, both of you!"

Impmon just ignored them and spoke. "You can use Gentle Darkness to a better degree then your present self right?"

"We can, why?" Valice asked.

"Then you can finish what Alice started." Impmon said before he looked at his partner's body. "If you can channel enough power into his crest, it's possible he will be revived."

"Bringing people back to life is a taboo of nature, laws in our world were written to prevent that." Stella said.

"Yeah, well his predecessor Nobu was brought back to life by the Digimon Sovereign and was bright back, in our world, it isn't taboo." Impmon said. "heck King Drasil brought back Marcus Damon's father and it was ok."

"So your world has more freedom outside the laws of nature?" Valice asked.

"Not really there are some laws we Digimon must follow too." Impmon admitted. "And trust me as a former demon lord I've broken quite a lot."

Valice nodded. "While I'm still not uncomfortable with reviving your partner, I do believe that his time to perish was too early." Valice admitted

"Thank you, his family and friends will appreciate it, especially Yolei, he loves her to death." Impmon said.

"Valice, are you sure? If Viloch finds out that you broke a taboo, he'll-" Stella started before Valice interrupted her.

"If Viloch does find out, I'll settle the matter with him." Valice told Stella who nodded.

"Very well then." Stella reluctantly said as she laid off the matter.

Just then the doors opened as Jaden emerged with a victorious smirk on his face, but it soon vanished when he saw Impmon and Xeno's body in the room.

"Umm… did i miss something important?" Jaden asked Valice and Stella.

"Not too much, besides these two fell from a void into the room." Stella said as she shrugged.

Jaden simply nodded, as he looked at Xeno, he looked similar to his Xeno right down to the scar on his right eye. 'So this is him huh? God, he looks like our Xeno." Jaden thought

"How did you two escape?" Jaden asked.

Impmon tried to answer, but Valice stepped in. "I'll tell you, but you have to promise me not to freak out."

Jaden arched an eyebrow. "Sure…"

"PROMISE ME!" Valice growled, making Jaden flinch.

"Ok! Ok, I promise I won't freak out." Jaden told her.

Valice took a deep breath. "Jaden… these two are here because Alice, Yami and Hikari have been captured by Prime Apocalypse, she sent them here."

Jaden was enraged that his wife and daughters were captured and turned around ready to head out to Nowhere before Valice called out to him

"Stop!" Valice exclaimed before getting in his way. "You're not leaving this castle... Not until the others return."

Jaden turned around to face Valice and his eyes were golden. "How long did you know?...Tell me Valice." Jaden shouted at her

Stella stepped in front of him and glared. "We've known for a while Jaden, but don't yell at us, your grandma told us not to tell you. And I think that was the right move, you were participating in the rite. And Kikyo thought it best not to tell you or you would have gone to Nowhere on your own and gotten yourself killed."

Jaden was still enraged even though he has heard the reasons why. "Very well then but this isn't over yet." Jaden said as he head towards his quarters to rest

Valice sighed. "That could have gone better."

"Hmph, he knows Kikyo made the right call. If he went there Prime Apocalypse or any of his enforcers would use Alice or the girls against him by threatening their lives." Stella stated.

"I know." Valice said, before turning her attention to Impmon who kept quiet during the argument. "Now let's begin, tell us what to do."

"Right." Impmon nodded.

Meanwhile Keith was walking through a forest and just came across a mountain valley.

"Scenery looks good, don't you think, Helios?" Keith asked.

"I guess so." Helios said. "Where are we going anyway?"

"I heard rumors of a powerful Kaiju that lives in this area." Keith explained.

"Then let's hurry up, the sooner we gain our new power the sooner we can get back." Helios stated.

"Rumors say that Kaiju is one of the new XYZ's monsters that KaibaCorp, New Dawn, and Industrial Illusions have created." Keith said as he left the forest he only saw a mountain. "It's also supposed to be at the top of this mountain."

"Then let's get started." Helios stated.

Keith nodded before grabbing Helios. "Bakugan Brawl! Helios stand!"

A flaming tornado appeared as Helios ripped his way out of it. "Time to fly."

Keith wasted no time in hopping onto his partner's back, in which they began their ascent up the mountain, after about 20 minutes the pair made it to the top.

"We made it." Keith said he looked around and saw no sight of the Kaiju. "Strange… I don't see anything?"

"If those rumors were just lies then we've wasted our time for nothing." Helios growled in anger.

'This can't be, right? The rumors say that a Kaiju was here not long ago, it could have left this place not long after.' Keith thought.

Suddenly the sky began to turn into night, and the forest and mountains had vanished in which Keith and Helios found themselves in a place that resembled space. All they could see were stars if it wasn't so sudden Keith would have said it was beautiful.(1)

"What the hell, where are we?" Helios questioned in a confused tone.

Suddenly a red and blue Dragon appeared in front of them, his eyes were like that of a galaxy, he has armored shoulder pads and has colorful prism-like wings.

"Who are you? Leave at once!" the dragon roared.

"So the rumors were true about a Kaiju that embodies the power of the galaxy." Keith said.

"I am Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon, and anyone who disturbs me shall be destroyed." Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon roared.

"We did not wish to disturb you, we need your power in order to stop an evil kaiju from destroying the world." Keith said before showing the Kaiju the Channeling Gem.

"I see." Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon said as he calmed down. "Then what will you do if you have my power?"

"'We'll stop them from hurting innocents." Keith said.

Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon didn't looked convinced as he roars as a pillar of light hit Keith, causing the boy to yell in pain as it stopped a shadow shot of Keith's body which it floated in between both Kaiju before it began to take shape which shocked Keith and Helios as it turned into Spectra, Keith's old alter ego but this one was different from the other one.

For one thing, his outfit from when he was Spectra now has a color scheme similar to Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon, with his mask golden with blue and red highlights, and a black feather coat with blue and red highlights and gold feathers

"What is this?" Keith demanded.

"I've taken your memories and inner demons and created your true self, the being that had tried to take over New Vestroia and tried to kill the Battle Brawlers." Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon answered.

"I've put that behind me, I'm no longer Spectra Phantom." Keith said, balling his fist .

"Keep saying that you fake, but what you see is your true self, me and Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon will defeat you and claim our spot as the best." Spectra said.

Keith just growled wondering if he really acted like that, seeing Spectra from the outside in he could see what Dan and others went through, however he would not lose to this Phantom of the past he needed to win so he could gain Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon's power.

"We'll see who's the fake." Keith said. "Helios!"

"I'm ready Keith." Helios said.

Spectra smirked as he took out a bakugan. "Bakugan Brawl! Helios Stand!"

This Helios was similar to Spectra's Color Scheme, other than that there wasn't any difference between the two Helios's.

"Another Helios?" Keith said, shocked

"In order to earn my power, you both must defeat your inner demons in order to earn my powers if not you both can leave." Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon said before he vanished.

As soon as Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon vanished, Keith glared at his former self. "It's time to settle this once and for all." Keith told Spectra as he loaded an ability. "Ability Activate! Inferno Quasar!"

Helios then emitted a vicious stream of flames at his counterpart.

"We'll see about that." Spectra countered as he loaded an ability. "Ability activate!" Black Inferno!"

Helios countered the attack by firing a stream of black flames.

Both attacks collided with each other with neither Helios willing to give in to the other, after awhile, both Helios's stopped their attacks resulting in a stalemate.

'We're evenly matched, I doubt either of us will even make a dent.' Keith thought.

"Is that all you got? We were expecting more from you fakes." Spectra mocked, as his Helios roared.

"Unleash me Spectra, no more holding back, let's show them what true power is." Spectra's Helios said.

"I couldn't agree more." Keith's Helios said as he glanced at Keith. "Unleash me Keith."

Keith just chuckled. "Ah Helios, your fervor for battle is invigorating as always." Keith said as he loaded two abilities. "Double Ability Activate! Inferno Quasar plus Dragon's Rage"

Helios than began charging up an intense orb of energy that seemed to be a fusion of his most potent abilities, the outer shell of the orb was the dark red flames of Inferno Qusar while the the center of the orb was a a blackish-blue sphere, lined and crackling with black energy. The sphere grew larger and larger, until it became larger than Helios's head.

"That's nothing that I can't take care of." Spectra smirked as he loaded an ability in response. "Ability Activate! Inferno Defenser."

Spectra's Helios also begun charging up a sphere of fire in his jaw.

At that moment, Keith's Helios launched his attack, firing a stream of dragon energy-infused black flames from the sphere at Spectra's Helios

At that moment, Spectra's Helios launched an reddish-orange fireball at the incoming attack, canceling it out as soon as the fireball collided with the flames.

As soon as the attacks dissipated into harmless flares, both Spectra's and Keith's Helios rushed at each other and engaged in a brawler lock.

At that time Valice and Stella were following Impmon's instructions channeling their Gentle Darkness Into the Crest of Darkness, Xeno's body was starting to float slightly off the ground as a result however it wasn't working at all.

"What's going on?" Impmon said in frustration. "It should be working."

Valice sighed. "I had a feeling it wouldn't work, Prime Apocalypse's powers are too strong to the point that his energy is still there." Valice said before she put a hand to her cheek. "The only way to revive him is with one of Cray's artifacts."

"Which means we have to go against the rules and find one." Stella added.

"Do you know where one is at least?" Impmon questioned.

"No, only hints about their locations." Valice admitted. "But we can send both of you back."

"Nah, I refuse to send him home like this." Impmon said. "I want his family to see him alive."

"Listen, that wasn't a request vermin, that was an order." Stella said. "And quite frankly I have better things to do than watch over someone who can't even aid us."

"You have no authority in our world!" Impmon exclaimed.

"As bluntly as Stella put it we're currently not capable of handling this, so unless you could prove yourself to Jaden that you're capable of aiding us on our mission then we have no choice but to send you back." Valice said with a stern face.

Impmon just scoffed. "As I said before you two have no authority in our world, and if I have to kick Jaden's ass to bring back my partner then I'll show him the power of a demon lord."

"Sorry but Jaden was given authority of this mission by DATs from your worlds, deal with it." Valice said

"And when have me and Xeno ever listened to authority?" Impmon mocked before leaving.

Stella after watching Impmon left just scowled as she glanced at Valice. "You know when this is over and when we get back, we're having a private talk." Stella snarled as she left for her quarters leaving Valice alone

Valice sighed. "Things just keep getting worse." She knew there was nothing more they could do until the others returned. She picked up Xeno's body, deciding to give him a more comfortable room until they found an artifact to revive him.

Meanwhile at Nowhere, Alice was still in her Prison cell along with her daughters when Dragon came to visit her.

"Hello my dear, how are you doing?" Dragon asked

"Go away Dragon, we are not in the mood for you right now." Alice said in a spiteful tone.

Dragon just smirked as he unlocked the cell and came in before lifting Alice's head by her chin so that her eyes were staring at his face. "Well, I'm in the mood to chat with you." Dragon said

"Hands off our mom jerk!" Hikari exclaimed.

"Or else, we'll hurt you!" Yami added.

Dragon just chuckled before changing the subject. "My dear, tell me how many times have you ever told your daughters about the times when Jaden ravaged you and kissed you when he was Dragon?" Dragon smirked

Alice blushed, not wanting the girls to hear about her bed life. "Keep your mouth shut Dragon! Are you here to just annoy and embarrass me or are you just here to tell me something?"

Dragon just smirked as he held up his hands. "Very well then, Just came to tell you that Apocalypse wants to see you shortly." Dragon said.

"Well tell him, I refuse." Alice stated.

"You don't have a choice in the matter, especially since your little girls are here." Dragon said before leaving.

'This is bad, we need to get out of here soon, Jaden, Shun, Keith everyone hurry up please.' Alice thought as she held Yami and Hikari tight.

Back at Valice's castle, Valice had just placed Xeno's deceased body in an empty room when she heard a knock and saw both Tai and Matt come in alongside Agumon and Gabumon walking in the castle.

"Oh,you have returned." Valice smiled. "How did it go?"

"A walk in the park." Tai winked with a thumbs up. Of course it was much tougher then he laid it out to be, Tai knew Kaiju were strong but he and Agumon hadn't had a battle that difficult since the Dark Masters and Armagemon.

"So who did you commence the Rite of Channeling with?" Valice asked, curious on who Tai and Matt got their new powers from.

"A Digimon called Gaioumon." Tai answered

"We did it with a digimon called Zeedgarurumon." Matt said.

"And he was tough, I didn't think there were stronger Garurumon-related digimon out there then MetalGarurumon and KendoGarurumon." Gabumon admitted.

"Same, Gaioumon was a Greymon-related digimon as well." Agumon added

"That's great, now you all have the power you need to battle." Valice said.

"So, has anyone else returned?" Tai asked.

"Well, Jaden and Dharak were the first ones to return." Valice said. "As for everyone else, we're still waiting for them."

"Great." Matt said but he could tell something was wrong with Valice, since he was the Digidestand of Friendship he could tell when things were wrong with his friends. "Valice, you seem upset, did something happen while we were gone?"

Valice just sighed as she sat in a chair. "Ah, things have gone to hell while you were on your adventure for new power, first Alice and her daughters were kidnapped." Valice groaned

"Oh no! Do Jaden and the others know this?" Tai asked in worry.

"Kikyo first told me not to tell him because of how protective he is of Alice and his family but when he returned, I had to tell him, so he's currently in his room." Valice explained

"It's probably best to leave him alone to cool off." Matt said.

"Then Alice used her powers which resonated with Xeno's crest and he along with Impmon are now here and let's just say, Stella is not in the best of moods." Valice said

"With Impmon, I don't blame her." Matt said understanding that both Xeno and Impmon were pains in the ass.

"Then after an attempt to revive Xeno failed we tried to tell Impmon to leave but surprise he wouldn't listen and Stella is on the verge of killing someone." Valice said

"Impmon can be a handful, let us talk to him." Tai said. "We might not get him to leave, but I think I understand why he won't go."

"He already told me, because he doesn't want Xeno's family to see him like this but unless Jaden approves of the situation and if Impmon could contribute to the mission it's a no go especially since-." Valice started before stopping mid-sentence.

"Since what?" Matt questioned.

Valice decided to break the ice anyway. "Since his partner is deceased, Impmon won't be able to keep up with us." Valice admitted

"Valice, I think you and the others have been glooming in war for too long." Tai smirked.

"Maybe you're right, I can't even remember when I had some peace." Valice admitted

"Tai's right, you and Jaden have been fighting dark battles for years and you all seem to think things won't be alright, no offence I think that's where digiheroes have it better than you." Matt added.

"Yeah we've lost only Digimon, and even when things are at there worse we keep fighting no matter what, and no matter how small a digimon and as long as they have the courage to fight for what's right that makes them unbeatable, you all need to start believing in yourselves and each other and us too cause we are far from powerless our friendship is our true strength."

Valice chuckled. "Very well, I'll put my faith in Impmon and see where it takes us." Valice smiled

"That's the spirit like it or not we are a team, and as long as we stick together we are unstoppable." Tai smirked.

"Yeah." Agumon cheered, while Matt and Gabumon nodded in agreement.

"Also, I wished to speak to everyone when they returned, it's very important." Valice stated

"What is it about? Alice or something?" Matt asked.

"The Supreme Council." Valice said

Meanwhile back at the battle between the Two Helios's, who were still engaged in their Brawler lock, neither was giving in.

"Come on Helios." Keith shouted

"Crush him now." Spectra exclaimed.

Both Helios continued to try and overpower each other, Keith knew this would never end, as both Bakugan were equal in power.

"Go down already." Keith's Helios roared

"No, you!" Spectra's Helios roared back.

Spectra who has his arms crossed with a smile on his face spoke. "It's time to show these fools your true power!"

Spectra loaded an ability card. "Ability Activate! Cosmic Quasar!"

'Cosmic Quasar?' Keith thought in shock.

Spectra's Helios stepped back as he charged up energy in his jew, Keith and his Helios could feel the power he was charging up.

"Keith, let's hold nothing back!" His Helios said.

Keith nodded. "Alright! I've done horrible things because of my lust for power and maybe I won't ever be forgiven by all."

Keith then loaded three ability cards. "And I've vowed to make up for all of it, and because as of today, I put my past behind me!"

"Triple Ability Activate! Inferno Quasar, Dragon's Rage, plus Fusion Ability Nova Strike!"

Keith's Helios roared as he gathered energy which formed a sphere of dragon energy mixed with flames in his jaws that began to become more compact as Helios glowed red with energy

Both Helios glared at each other with the intention of ending this battle once and for all, waiting for their partners' word.

"Helios! Fire!" both Keith and Spectra yelled.

While both Helios' fired their attacks, Spectra's being blue with stars in color. While Keith's Helios was dark red, both attacks collided. To Keith's surprise that even with triple abilities both Bakugan were still even in power, however it seemed like Spectra's Helios was starting to gain some ground.

"Impossible?!" Keith said in shock.

"As I said before, we are stronger than you'll ever be." Spectra said. "Now Helios end this once and for all."

Spectra's Helios complied with the command as he channeled more energy into the attack slowly pushing Keith's Helios's attack back

"I will not lose!" Keith's Helios roared.

Keith was not ready to give up, everyone was counting on him. Jaden, Alice, his sister and all of his friends. "We're not giving in Helios, these two are longer apart of us."

Keith's Helios roared as he began to release more power which was starting to push back Spectra's Helio's attack, shocking them.

"Not possible?!" Spectra said.

The attack closed in with Spectra's Helios was barely holding the attack back. "The past is over Spectra! Vanish!"

With one final roar Keith's Helios releases all of his energy in which completely overpowered Spectra's Helio's attack and stuck the bakugan down reverting him back to ball form.

Helios roared in triumph as Spectra Phantom vanished into thin air.

Keith sighed in relief. 'It's over…'

Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon then reappeared in front of Keith and Helios. "So….you actually managed to overcome your past? Impressive." Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon said.

"Thanks, I've put the past behind me." Keith said. "I'm no longer Spectra Phantom, I'm just Keith."

"Yes, as a reward for your victory over your past, I present to you my power." Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon said before firing a cosmic stream at Keith which engulfed him but it didn't hurt at all, suddenly in a flash of light blinded both Keith and Helios which they both found themselves back on the mountain.

Keith looked around, before he took out the Channeling Gem and saw it was glowing in a blue light. "Mission Accomplished."

"I'll inform my brother, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, to keep an eye out in case one of your comrades wants his power as well." Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon said before both Spectra and Helios returned to the forests and mountains

"Shall we head back now?" Helios asked.

"Yeah." Keith replied. "Jaden or some of the others should be back by now."

Not wasting time, Keith hoped onto Helios as they began their journey back to Valice's castle.

Back at Nowhere, a portal opened up and Zenon walked through to report to his master Prime Apocalypse.

"Master, I'm here as you requested me." Zenon stated as he bowed

"It would seem that you have failed to defeat Jaden." Prime Apocalypse said.

"I'm sorry, I've decided to wait until he's worthy to satisfy Dragon's lust for battle." Zenon said.

"Very well, you are dismissed until I need you again. And while you are at it check on the lab and see how Prof. Clay, Kurata and Kazarina are doing?" Prime Apocalypse said.

"As you wish." Zenon said before leaving.

Zenon then went to the labs finding Kurata, Prof. Clay and Kazarina working on a device to find the shards.

"So if we modify the Digimon Scanner with the Dimensional Scanner while calibrating the energy signature of the shard we should be able to locate where the others are." Kurata said.

"Yes, but at the moment it's going to take time until we finish modifying it." Kazarina said.

"About 4 days at best, we also need to widen the search for all dimensions in order to do so." Prof. Clay said typing on the computer.

"I see that you're doing well." Zenon said, getting their attention.

"Yes, with the rate we're going at we should have a working scanner by the end of the week." Prof. Clay said.

"But as it stands there's still many calculations to go through before creating the scanner." Kazarina stated.

"Indeed, by the way." Kazarina, before you were imprisoned, you conducted experiments on Kaiju and Bakugan right?" Zenon asked.

"Yes, I suppose I could restart the experiments on the side." Kazarina said.

Kurata adjusted his glasses. "Maybe I could contribute, as you know i've created artificial Digimon and have fused Human and Digimon DNA together, and i've been watching the data on Biomegering and how Davis and Xeno fuse with their partners to gain armor, with that we could create the Ultimate Kaiju, Bakugan or Human hybrid."

"Very well then." Zenon said as he left

Meanwhile back at the castle, Keith just returned. As he entered the war room he saw Valice Stella and some of the others had returned being Tai, Matt.

"Jaden's not back yet?" Keith asked.

"Oh he's back, and he's in a foul mood." Stella said.

"What happened?" Keith asked.

"You're going to need to sit down for this." Valice said.

Valice began to explain how Alice, and his daughters were kidnapped and revealed something she didn't want to tell Jaden.

"Prime Apocalypse is going to make Alice his Queen!" Keith exclaimed as Tai and Matt covered his mouth.

"Keep your mouth shut man! You want Jaden to hear you?" Tai said.

Keith pried them off him. "What are we going to do?"

"Nothing for now, we need to wait for the others. But that's not our only problem." Valice stated.

"What is it?" Keith asked.

"One is the Supreme Council." Valice said. "Two is that we need to find the shards. Impmon told me before Xeno died he discovered that there are 20 shards we have one and Prime Apocalypse has one as well and he can't sense where most of them are."

"Got it, anything else?" Keith asked.

Before Valice could say anything, Marcus and his Agumon entered the room.

"Hey guys, we're back." Marcus said.

"I'm beefed." Marcus's Agumon said exhausted.

"You mean pooped." Marcus corrected.

"Well, How was meeting Craniummon? Did you manage to get his power?" Stella asked.

"Well not the one from our world, it wasn't easy but we came out on top." Marcus smirked.

"Yeah boss." Marcus's Agumon said.

"Wait? Which world did the Craniummon you fought belong to?" Valice asked.

"Your universes, we kinda mistaken him for ours." Marcus said, rubbing the back of his head, much to Matt's and Tai's confusion and shock.

"Yeah that'll do it." Valice said

"Wait, your world has Digimon?" Tai asked.

"Not exactly their Kaiju, flesh and blood Kaiju that have lived through the years." Valice explained

"I guess that's the key difference between our worlds, your universe's Digimon are flesh and blood while ours are made of data." Matt said.

"Exactly." Valice stated

"Which means if there are royal knights in your world then there are demon lords and another Beelzemon too ohh no." Tai said.

"Don't worry about our Demon Lords, they're quite different from yours." Valice assured

"In fact last we checked two of them are partnered with Kairi and Umi Tsunami." Stella added.

"So any news from back home?" Marcus asked.

Valice sighed a bit before breathing. "It's complicated."

Meanwhile Shun was on his mission and was walking through a valley with some mountains in the distance with a nice breeze.

"Seems peaceful doesn't it?" Shun asked.

"Yes, indeed." Taylean added

Suddenly the winds began to pick up as they became harder, forcing Shun to take cover among some tall rocks in the valley so that he doesn't get swept away.

"Tch, this valley lives up to its name, it feels like a storm just appeared out of nowhere." Shun said, this area was a part of the data squads digital world named Storm Valley named because of it's sudden wind change one minute it's calm and breezy and the next hurricane winds appear out of nowhere.

"It's very dangerous, this place is definitely a place for strong winged Kaiju or Bakugan to thrive." Taylean stated.

Shun nodded in agreement. "We can't let a storm keep us down, we need to find that Kaiju we've heard about."

"I agree but with these conditions, it will be dangerous." Taylean advised.

"I know, but we have little choice." Shun said, suddenly the storm subsided and the breeze was calm once again.

Shun just frowned. "The Digiheroes' worlds seem too unpredictable just like Cray." and that was saying something cause Shun had seen a lot of unpredictable terrain in his battles over the years.

Shun started to run through the valley until he saw two flashes of green lights in the distance colliding with each other. "Is that…?"

"Shun, what's wrong?" Taylean asked.

"One of those lights?" Shun uttered as he ran to the source of the lights.

As soon as Shun got to the source, he saw two green Phoenix-like creatures in the air, one was a Phoenix Kaiju that he had never seen before, but the other was one that he was definitely familiar with, The other Phoenix-like creature had a blade-tipped tail along with a curved horn on her head. This was Shun's Partner Bakugan Storm Skyress.

"It's Skyress." Shun said, his first bakugan partner, she had helped him and the other brawlers back in their first adventure and in his second one to after the defeat of Zenoheld she had returned to New Vestroia saying if they needed her power she would return, to Shun it was surprising to see her all the way out here.

"I wonder who the other Phoenix is?" Taylean asked.

"I don't know, but it looks like they are evenly matched." Shun said as they continued to watch the battle unfold.

As Skyress and the unknown Phoenix continued their battle, the other Phoenix suddenly stopped confusing Skyress.

"Rekkuumaru, what's wrong?" Skyress asked.

"It seems we have guests." Rekkuumaru said as his eyes glanced directly where Shun's currently located

"Shun." Skyress said happily as she landed near him.

"Skyress, it's been too long." Shun smiled.

Rekkuumaru landed next to Skyress before speaking. "So this is the human you told me about?"

"Why yes, Shun and I have been through many battles over the years." Skyress answered.

"It's to meet you." Shun said politely.

"You too, my name is LightFangPhoenix Rekkuumaru." Rekkuumaru introduced himself. "What brings you to Storm Valley?"

"I'm here to perform the Rite of Channeling." Shun said before showing them the Channeling Gem.

"I've heard of these gems, but I've never seen them before." Rekkuumaru stated. "But I do have some understanding of how the Rite works, you must earn the Kaiju or Bakugan respect in order to gain their power."

"Shun is indeed worthy, he has proven countless times that he is willing to protect the worlds." Skyress said.

Rekkuumaru thought for a minute. "Very well then, I trust your judgement Skyress." Rekkuumaru said

"Thank you." Shun said.

"Present the channeling gem." Rekkuumaru instructed.

Shun did as told, before Rekkuumaru fired a green vortex at Shun which engulfed him. The ventus battle brawler finched, but he relaxed, the vortex wasn't hurting him at all, soon it dissipated and Shun looked at the gem and saw it was glowing green, and it looked like a green tornado was inside.

"I trust you to use my powers wisely, Skyress has told me many things about you Shun and I hope you live up to them." Rekkuumaru said in a stern tone.

"I will." Shun said. "Before I go, are you and Skyress together?"

"Yes we are Shun, Rekkuumaru is my mate." Skyree confirmed, which made Rekkuumaru turn his head away showing he was embarrassed.

"That's good to hear." Shun said. "Alight Taylean, it's time for us to return."

While Shun was heading back to the castle, he ran into Mikey and Christopher on the way back.

"Mikey, Christopher, how was your mission?" Shun asked.

"A little tougher than expected." Mikey said.

"That's an understatement." Shoutmon said he had never thought Kaiju would be so powerful even with his Omnishoutmon form and his digifuse state it was a difficult fight.

"Same here, me and my partners are going to need to train more after our fight." Christopher admitted.

"So you were successful too?" Mikey asked.

"Yeah, I didn't need to fight." Shun answered.

"Well aren't you lucky." Shoutmon muttered.

"We should head back now, I'm sure the others have returned as well." Shun said as he, Mikey and Christopher nodded in agreement as they made their way back to Valice's castle.

Later, Shun, Mikey and Christopher all returned to Valice's castle.

"Welcome back." Valice said. "How'd it went?"

"It was a piece of cake." Mikey smiled.

"Yeah and Shun didn't have to fight." Shoutmon added.

"Very good, sometimes it's good not to fight." Valice said.

"So the others returned yet?" Shun asked.

"Yes, they are currently resting in the rooms we've prepared." Stella said. "You all have some made too."

"The only ones that have not returned are Nobu, Dan and Marucho." Valice said. "I hope they are ok, and are close to completing their Rites."

"That reminds me, who did you do your rites with?" Stella asked Shun, Mikey and Christopher.

"I did mine with Rekkuumaru." Shun answered.

"Nice choice, he's a mighty Kaiju that can control the winds and is one of the strongest wind Kaiju." Valice said.

"We were able to find Apollomon, but he wanted us to show him how much stronger we got first." Mikey said, it was a hard fight which Apollomon had gotten much stronger over the years and he held nothing back but in the end they had won and were deemed worthy.

"I took on Dorbickmon and I was surprised to see he wasn't the one from our universe." Christopher said.

"Yeah, I'm surprised that your world has digimon too." Mikey added.

"They are not truly digimon, in our world we call them Kaiju real flesh and blood, while your universe's Digimon are made up of pure data." Stella corrected.

"So your Kaiju don't get reincarnated into Digieggs?" Shoutmon asked, which confused the Queens.

"Reincarnate into eggs? don't you die?" Valice asked.

"Yeah, but not permanently unless our data is absorbed, once a digimon has died they are reverted back into their digiegg form and then hatch into a new digimon." Shoutmon explained.

"Very interesting." Valice admitted.

"All that aside, any news pop up while we were gone?" Mikey asked.

"You all are going to need to sit down for this." Valice said

Just before Valice could say anything, Nobu came in exhausted.

"I miss anything?" Nobu chuckled in exhaustion.

"Not much." Shun said. "You ok?"

"Yeah, the Kaiju that I formed a Rite with put me through hell, it almost reminded me of my training in Kendo with my mother." Nobu said.

"It must be really bad." Mikey said, cause Nobu was definitely one of the toughest digidestined and if this Kaiju made him this tired, it must have been strong indeed.

"So who did you did the Rite with?" Valice asked.

"A Kaiju called SoulDragon." Nobu answered, getting Shun's attention.

"Nobu, was that Souldragon's name Ryouma?" Shun asked.

"Yeah, he was definitely the strongest foe I've faced so far." Nobu admitted

"He's Ryoken's partner and a strong ally of ours." Shun said.

Nobu nodded before he sat down in a chair. "So is everyone back yet?"

Valice shook her head. "Not yet both Dan and Marucho are still out there." Valice answered

Nobu nodded understandably. "Has any new information been given yet?"

"Yeah, but you all aren't going to like it." Valice said.

Valice began to explain about the situation that took place back on earth hours ago, from Alice and her daughters kidnapping and to Xeno and Impmon's arrival which shocked Nobu and the other Digiheroes in the room, while Shun cursed under his breath hearing Alice, Yami and HIkari were in the clutches of Prime Apocalypse.

"And that's all we know so far." Valice finished. "I also contacted Kikyo earlier about locating the shards that are scattered."

"Where's Impmon?" Nobu asked. "Is he just running around somewhere in this castle?"

"Who cares about that loud mouth Imp, right now we must wait for the others." Stella said.

"Stella, please can you and Impmon just for once in your life try or at least pretend to get along?" Valice asked

"I don't think that'll ever happen." Nobu sighed knowing Impmon's personality well enough he wouldn't at all.

Valice also sighed as well before she had a look of realization on her face. "Stella, try to locate the Beelzemon of our universe, I think I have an idea that could help both of us." Valice said.

"What are you planning sister?" Stella questioned.

"Well the Impmon from Takatos's universe had two partners but despite that he ran away and was able to Evolve to Beelzemon on his own, maybe we could asked our Beelzemon to aid Impmon so that until Xeno is revived he's able to fight on the front lines." Valice explained.

"I'm not sure our's will help, but I'll see if I can convince him." Stella said before leaving.

"Until Xeno is revived our Beelzemon will help your Impmon Nobu." Valice said.

"Alright." Nobu said. "Where is Xeno?"

"His deceased body is in a vacant room." Valice replied. "I'll guide you there."

"Thank you, and I'm going to have to thank Alice for helping them escape." Nobu said as Valice led him to Xeno's room.

Shun frowned. "Well there's nothing more we can do today. We should rest until Dan and Marucho return."

"Yeah a good nap so-" Mikey said before he began to fall while Christopher grabbed Shoutmon and threw him under Mikey who fell face first on Shoutmon.

"Why me…" Shoutmon groaned in embarrassment.

Shun was confused before speaking. "Is he going to be ok?"

"Yeah, this happens everytime he pushes himself too far." Christopher said before picking his friend up. "Don't worry after a good rest he'll be good as new."

Meanwhile back on Earth, back in Jaden's house both Chan Lee and Fabia were annoyed, why? Because Alice was kidnapped along with her two oldest daughters, even her youngest children weren't being annoying for once they were sad that their mother and older siblings were kidnapped.

"Aunt Chan when is Mama coming home?" Valice Muto asked.

"And when are our sisters coming back too?" Eito questioned.

Chan Lee was annoyed mostly because they keeped asking but it was understandable that they would be asking that, but she had no answer. It just happened so sudden and both of her and Fabia were at their wits end trying to cheer them up.

"They'll be rescued soon, I'm pretty sure your daddy is already on his way to save them." Fabia said.

"We want to see our mommy and sisters!" Eito and Valice exclaimed.

Suddenly a knock on the door was heard that further annoyed the two women as they already had enough problems.

"I'll get it." Chan Lee groaned as she walked towards the door and opened it. "Hello."

The one at the door was a young man wearing what appears to be a uniform from some sort of organization. "Good afternoon, my name is Mirai Hibino." Mirai said as he introduce himself

"Umm… are you a salesman sorry but we aren't interested." Chan Lee said.

"No I'm not, actually I'm here to see if you could take me to Kikyo cause I heard that you have a shard." Mirai said.

"Wait, how do I know you're not with Prime Apocalypse?" Chan Lee said ready to fight if that was the case.

"I'll explain everything to everyone as soon as possible but I'm not your enemy." Mirai assured.

Chan thought for a minute and nodded. "I'll contact her and the others right away." She then took out her communicator and called in. "Sampson, this is Chan Lee. I have some guy named Mairi and he claims to know more about the shard. Please contact everyone to meet at DATS."

"Ok, I'll have my friend Fabia drop the kids off at their grandma and grandpas, while I take you to DATS." Chan Lee said, which Mirai nodded in response.

A half an hour later the both teams arrived at DATS, many of them were wondering who this person was and how he knew about the shard.

"So Mirai, what do you really know about the shard? " Kikyo asked.

"Because, me along with my comrades were in the middle of the battle with Prime Apocalypse when the incident you called the Convergence happened." Mirai answered.

"Wait?! You mean your people are the reason why our universes merged?" Kisara stated pointing at Mirai.

"In a way yes, but it was an accident." Mirai apologized

"We can play the blame game later Kisara." Mana said. "Can you tell us what happened and where did this shard come from?"

Mirai nodded' "Of course but first let's step outside please for a moment."

"What are you planning?" GX Xion questioned.

"Nothing, I just want to show you my true identity." Mirai said

"Very well, you may for a second." Sampson allowed.

Mirai stepped outside and began glowing before he grew taller, when the light subsided he was now a 49 meter giant with red markings and accents on his body turning back into his true form of Ultraman Mebius, surprising everyone as this was something they didn't expect.

"Woah's he's like a power ranger!" Mana exclaimed with excitement.

"Just a lot taller." Jeremy added.

Mebius kneeled down. "My name is Ultraman Mebius, nice to meet you." Mebius said

"Ultraman?" Kikyo stated she had heard that before but couldn't put her finger on it.

Mebius then glowed again and returned back to human form becoming Mirai again.

"Mebius or Mirai, how exactly did the merger happen?" Kikyo asked.

"Oh, call me Mirai when I'm in this form." Mirai happily said. "As for the merger, well, it started when we cornered Prime Apocalypse between dimensions, I was with two of my teachers Ultraman Taro and Ultraman Zoffy, members of the Ultra Brothers as well as Ultraman Leo another member, Ultraman Tiga and finally Ultraman Zero."

"You guys were about to defeat Prime Apocalypse?!" Mana said in shock, since her brother Jaden and others from their world could barely beat him.

"Not exactly though we kinda had trouble but in the end we chased him between dimensions." Mirai sheepishly replied

"Even if you had trouble just getting him to run away is something incredible." Ryoken said he had been busy with keeping the peace in some areas of a New DigiCray and had just returned.

"What happened next?" Kazu asked.

"Well as soon as we cornered him, he revealed a new weapon of sorts that was formed through his own powers." Mirai explained. "He stated that this move would fuse all realities into one." Mirai stated

"And thus came the convergence." Kikyo said.

"That also explains the energy residing in the shard but what about yours?" Chan asked.

Mirai rubbed the back of his head. "Well the thing was that we tried to stop him from throwing it but his weapon absorbed our energy and well you know the rest." Mirai said

"Meaning he tricked you all into fueling the weapon to increase its power." Yolei said.

"Yes, and now it's shattered into 20 pieces, your friend found one not long after the convergence took place and Prime Apocalypse has one as well, and the worst part is, that the person who holds it gains the powers of us and Prime Apocalypse." Mirai said, shocking everyone.

"That's horrible." Nene said.

"Yes, and word is the Prime Apocalypse is searching for them, and he has brought back some of the most evil Kaiju and Digimon from both universes." Mirai said. "If he gets all the shards and remakes the weapon, he'll be unstoppable."

This shocked everyone hearing that Kikyo had calmed down and spoke. "Kisara, Megumi and Mika I want you three to calibrate the Digimon scanner to track the shards, and get in contact with Valice and the others."

Meanwhile Marucho was currently at some Ruins and was fascinated so far.

"These ruins are intriguing, these glyphs aren't like those from Vestroia or any other dimensions I've seen before." Marucho said as he saw 10 symbols with one in the center of all of them, Marucho had seen it before but couldn't remember where.

"Let's not get too distracted Marucho." Elico stated.

"Yeah you're right Elico." Marucho said before moving onward.

As Marucho continued his way through the hallways of the ruins.

"You sure we'll find a Kaiju here Marucho? It seems highly unlikely." Elico stated.

"Probably but we just have to keep our hopes up." Marucho said before stopping.

"Why'd you stop?" Elico asked.

"I thought I heard something." Marucho said.

Throughout the hallways, a sound was heard before it slowly came closer.

"I can hear now, something coming." Elico said.

The sounds of footsteps slowly came closer before a humanoid mechanical-like Kaiju stepped out of the shadows in front of Marucho and Elico.

"Who dares step into the ruins?" the machine demanded.

Marucho didn't answer as continued to observe the mechanical kaiju. Before he found his voice. "We aren't here to cause trouble, we only wish to perform the Rite of Channeling."

The mechanical Kaiju seemed to be intrigued. "The Rite of Channeling you say?" The machine said, before turning around. "Follow me." the mechanical-looking Kaiju asked as he began to walk away.

"We should follow." Elico stated

Marucho nodded in agreement and began to follow the humanoid machine kaiju deeper into the ruins.

As they were walking down, Marucho was curious about the machine's name. "So,,,,,what's your name?" Marucho asked

"I'm known as Metanoid." Metanoid answered as they continued walking

"It's nice to meet you, Metanoid." Marucho replied. "My name is Marucho and this is my partner Elico."

"Hello." Elico said.

"Do you know what these ruins are?" Marucho asked.

"These ruins are remnants of both Lady Valice's and Lord Haou's ancestors." Metanoid explained.

"Really? I saw some weird symbols earlier. Do you know what they are?" Marucho said.

"The Language of the Dragons." Metanoid answered.

"I wonder if Jaden or Kikyo know about this place?" Elico questioned.

"Maybe not, we'll have to gather data here before we leave." Marucho stated.

"We're here." Metanoid stated as they arrived in a library. Metanoid then went and took out one of the books and gave it to Marucho. "Give this to Lady Valice when you see her." Metanoid said.

"What is it?" Marucho asked.

"Something that could help you and your allies." Metanoid said. "And as for my power, I've heard stories about you and your friends, I'll give you my power, present the Channeling Gem."

Marucho did as told and presented the Channeling Gem, as Metanoid held out his hand which sent a strong surge of energy hitting the gem which began to pulse with silver-white light.

"Thank you Metanoid, I'll be sure to give Valice this." Marucho said before leaving.

Meanwhile both Dan and Drago were walking through a dense rocky area, both were amazed by the formations that made KaibaCorp look small in comparison.

"Amazing site isn't it buddy?" Dan asked.

"Sure is Dan." Drago agreed.

"We've been looking for hours and we still haven't found a good Kaiju or Bakugan to do the Rite with." Dan complained.

"We need to be patient Dan, we can't just choose a random Kaiju and Bakugan, like Valice said it depends on the species and if I am compatible with them." Drago explained.

Dan nodded, at first he thought this would be a piece of cake. But karma had to be a bitch and send him and Drago on a wild Kaiju chase literally.

Suddenly the sky turned dark, Dan and Drago were shocked by the sudden change from day to night. They had been out for a while but they knew that night wouldn't come for at least another few hours.

"What the heck?!" Dan said in shock. "Drago, are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

"Yes, the sky had turned to night, this is not natural." Drago said.

Suddenly, a bluish-red dragon whose eyes have a Galaxy-like pattern appeared in front of Dan and Drago.

"Woah, talk about a flashy entrance." Dan commented.

"My name is Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon." Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon said as he introduced himself.

"My name Dan and this is my partner Drago." Dan introduced himself and Drago. "We've been looking for a Kaiju to perform the Rite of Channeling."

"I know, my brother Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon informed me." Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon said.

"So you are here to test us if we are worthy?" Drago questioned.

"No, I already heard of your exploits before the convergence happened, I have faith in you." Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon said.

"Yeah! Great, now we'll beat Dragon and Prime Apocalypse." Dan cheered.

"Present the Channeling Gem." Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon said.

Dan did so as he showed the Channeling Gem, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon roared as Dan was enveloped in galactic energy before it had vanished.

"It is done, I wish you and our king luck in the coming battles." Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon said before he vanished, and the sky turned back to normal.

Dan looked at the Channeling Gem which now looked like it had a spiraling galaxy in it.

"Alright, let's head back, the others should be there now." Dan said, tossing the gem in the air before catching it.

Later at Valice's Castle, both Dan and Marucho had returned

"Welcome back." Valice told both Dan and Marucho

"It's great to go back." Dan stated before stretching his arms out. "I'm seriously looking forward to resting."

"I've recovered a book from a Kaiju called Metanoid." Marucho said, before showing them the book he was given. "He told me to give this to you."

Valice took the book and looked it over. "Amazing, this is an ancient tomb, I've never seen this one before."

"I also recorded the language in the ruins which could be useful too." Marucho said.

"Nice to hear Marucho." Valice said. "Me and Stella have made rooms for you to rest, while you are gone."

"Thanks, I've already sent the data to DATS so the others can see too." Marucho added.

Valice nodded. "Ok, the others are here too, and are currently resting. You both should rest too and me and Stella will call you all later."

"Where is Stella anyway?" Dan asked.

"I sent her off on an errand to find the Beelzemon of our universe." Valice explained. "By the way, which Kaiju did you perform the Rite of Channeling with?" Valice asked.

"A Kaiju called Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon." Drago answered.

"And we performed Rite with Metanoid." Elico added.

"Yeah we didn't have to fight at all." Dan smirked.

"Neither did we." Marucho added.

"That's great to hear, Shun had a similar situation." Valice informed. "You both should head to your rooms to rest, and I'll wait for Stella to return and we'll call you all here."

Both Brawlers nodded in agreement they both needed a rest after their long search. Valice told them where their rooms were, and both were out the door.

Valice looked at the tomb and wondered. 'I've never seen this before, what were those ruins?' Valice thought to herself

Later at Nowhere, Dragon came to the prison cell to see Alice.

"Hey beautiful." Dragon said "Apocalypse wants to see you now."

"And If I refuse?" Alice questioned with a glare.

"Oh you wouldn't want to do that." Dark Dharak said as he floated in the air.

Alice bit her lower lip, before looking at her scared daughters. "Leave them out of this."

"Very well then." Dragon said

"Hydranoid I want you to stay with them." Alice told her partner.

"I can't just leave you alone with them." Hydranoid stated not willing to leave her alone.

"My daughters' safety is more important than mine, please." Alice begged.

Hydranoid looked at her for a minute but reluctantly nodded, while Yami and Hikari hugged her begging her not to leave.

"Please Mama, don't go! Daddy is coming, I know it." Hikari cried.

"Mom, you can't do this, don't go." Yami begged.

Alice smiled and rubbed both their heads. "It's ok, I promise I'll be back, I want you to be strong and don't cry."

Both girls sniffed and nodded, as the gate opened and Alice walked through. She turned back to the girls. "Listen to Hydranoid, and be good."

Alice glared at Dragon. "Lead the way, bastard."

Dragon just chuckled unaffected by the name. "As you wish my dear but first." Dragon said as he left Dark Dharak behind. "Make sure to keep an eye on them partner." Dragon told Dark Dharak.

"Very well, you could count on me." Dark Dharak said before heading back to the prison cell where Yami and Hikari are much to Alice's displeasure.

"Now we could go." Dragon said.

'Soon Jaden and others will come and they'll save us.' Alice thought to herself as she followed Dragon.

As Alice followed Dragon to where Apocalypse is she was wondering about something and as much as she disliked Dragon she was curious about something "Dragon, you seem to have a great relationship with your partner, so why are you doing this?" Alice asked.

"Hmm, Hard to say, perhaps because deep in my veins I'm still Jaden and my bond with my Kaiju is genuine." Dragon answered

"If you are still Jaden deep down, you should know the hatred he has for Prime Apocalypse and he's planning to make me his queen. It should make you mad too." Alice stated.

Dragon just glared at Alice. "I don't know why but for unknown reasons, just hearing about that is making my heartache but regardless I was still created by Apocalypse." Dragon countered.

"That may be true, but you are also made of Jaden's memories both before and after you became Dragon. And you're just as smart as him as well and you should know he would rather die than be Prime Apocalypse's follower." Alice countered back.

Dragon didn't say a thing but he was inspired by Alice's speech.

They eventually came across a chamber. "Apocalypse is just on the other side." Dragon stated.

"Think over Dragon, you should know once you outlive your usefulness he'll erase you." Alice said with her back turned to him

As soon as Alice entered Apocalypse's chamber to attend a private meeting. Dragon just muttered to himself as soon as she entered. "I'm aware of my fate." Dragon muttered to himself.
