MA: (groans) hey people. Damn that was some party! I don't even remember what I did.
(Looks around to half the digidestined laid out all over the place. He looked in the bathroom to see blackWargreymon vomiting in the toilet.)
BW: ohh. What the hell did I drink last night?
MA: I warned you: digimon and tequila don't mix.
(Walked into the bedroom and saw Tai and sora, nude and on the bed.)
MA: WHAT THE FUCK?!
TAI: will you keep it down? Sora is very tired. She had a long night.
MA: aww, man! I can't believe you two did that in my bed. Damn! Well since everyone is either out cold or reliving the food they ate last so I'll do the disclaimer: I don't own digimon or dbz. So while I get everyone up, on with the fic.
D3: FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE
CH.15 "THE OTHERS"
Morning, The most peaceful time of day. My parents taught me to appreciate this time for it was one of the many things we did together. But now, with my hidden power out in the open, the mornings seem more peaceful.
" Let's see...where is it? Ah! Here it is." Said Tai. Tai and the others had gotten the address of the d3s after the battle at the complex. They invited any of the destined to come over to discuss strategies against the warlord. Tai decided that he would pay his future son a visit. He came to the address that max had given him only to find him self at a large hotel. Tai looked on in awe as he looked up and down the building. As he reached for the door handle, he felt another hand on it. He look up into a pair of familiar crimson eyes and smiled.
" Sora, hey."
" Tai, what are you doing here?"
" Well since max gave me his address I wanted to swing by. What about you?"
" I was in the neighbor and I was bored."
" Yeah. Well shall we, my lady?" he said as he opened the door.
" Thank you, sir." She said as she entered followed by a smiling Tai. The two rode the elevator to the 16th floor and got off. They made their way to room 45 and knocked. The door opened to reveal sam.
" Hey guys. Come on in."
They entered in to the apartment and heard munching and slurping.
" Hey sam. What is that sound?" asked Tai.
Sam simply pointed his finger to the dinning room. Tai and sora looked over to see the twins eating their breakfast like two pigs, grunting and slurping. Both digidestined shuddered as they watched.
" Hey, where's max and keke?" asked sora.
" They are on the roof. Max said some thing about doing some exercises and keke wanted to watch, leaving me to watch the beast."
" Can we go up?"
" Sure. Just take the stairs to the right."
" Ok. Thanks." And with that they left, leaving him with the twins.
Tai and sora open the door to the roof to find keke sitting on a chair, with a smile on her face.
" Yo, kek. Where's max?"
She answers by pointing forward. Max was doing tai chi with his eyes closed. His movements were smooth, slow, and fluid. As he was doing this, a flock of birds began to gather around him and his audience.
" He's been doing this for hours now. But for some reason, I feel a great sense of peace when I watch him." Said his girlfriend.
" Yeah now that you mention it, I do feel more at peace." Said sora.
Suddenly, a glow appeared over his skin as he continued. Then as max placed his fist in his palm, a sign that he was finished, the glow intensified and almost blinded the onlookers. As the light lessen, a gold hue was around the out line of his body and as he opened his eyes to reveal that they were now a dull gold color but seemed very peaceful. He then held out his hand and the birds perched on different parts of his body.
" Max, what did you do?" asked Tai.
" There is more to this power than fighting. In order for me to use the power effectively, the peace and war must both be trained. In this state, I'm in tune with my surroundings. I can see things that not even digimon can." He answered in a calm voice.
" That must be very beautiful." Said keke.
" Beautiful is an understatement. The things I see are more wonderful than your wildest dreams." He said as looked at the bird in his hand and let it fly and the other birds followed suit.
" Go friends. You don't need to be here for this."
Max then planted his feet a good space apart and began to concentrate. Almost immediately, max's hair erupted into gold and his eyes turn green. He leaped into the air and began to punch and kick at high speed. He then began to move in and out of sight, by which he was moving to fast to be seen. He then landed in front of the trio and turned back to normal and grabbed a towel.
" Hey guys. Got anything to eat?"
" Master, you shouldn't go out like this."
" NO! Tai and sora's little bastard hurt me. HURT ME! I can't let that go unpunished."
" Sir, at least have some back up. I shall call."
" NO, DAMN IT! I want to kill that bastard on my own."
" But sir, the master project is set for a week from today. You can't risk injury soon close to the due date."
" It doesn't matter. I must have my revenge." He said as he and snivmon left the control room, unknown to the both of them, a black clad figure jumped down to the floor and walked over to the control board.
" Master project, huh? We'll just see about this." He said as he began to type.
" How long will you be gone?" asked keke. Max had just finished dressing in his future outfit. He had also finished a meal so big, that even the twins were left speechless. Apparently, transforming burns a lot of energy and he needs a lot of food. Tai and sora then came into the room.
" Where are you going man?" said Tai.
" I'm heading to see azulogmon and see if he can tell me anything about my powers and if I can harness it more."
" Are you sure he can help?"
" From what I heard from Davis and the others, he's supposed to know everything."
" How long will it take?"
" As long as it takes. Well I got to go. See ya!" and with that, max pointed his palm to the computer and disappeared.
" I hope you get back soon max. I got a bad feeling something gonna go down."
The morning commute to work was for some uneventful but today it would be different. A driver heading down the street was force to stop as an oddly dressed figure appeared in the middle of the street.
" HEY, get out of the street you jerk!"
The figure turned to the car and pointed his finger to the car and fired a beam of light at it. The driver had no idea what happened until his car split in two. Three police officers were nearby and saw what happened and drew their guns.
" Sir you are under arrest! Put your hands up!"
" As you wish." He said as he raised his arm to them and fired an energy blast at them. The blast destroyed a car behind them. His eyes then false red, causing the cop's guns to explode in their hands. The cops ran for back up as the figure insanely when a small winged digimon appeared from behind him.
" Master is this is wise, coming out in the open like this?"
" Yes. Sometimes the direct approach is the best approach. The digi-wimps will see me on the news destroying the city and come to stop me. Then I will take my revenge. Now that building is hurting my eyes. Time for some urban renewal."
Meanwhile, Tai and tike were playing SNK VS. CAPCOM and Tai was losing horribly for the tenth time in the last hour.
" Awe man! How did I lose to you?"
" Hey when it comes to fighting, I'm the champ."
Elsewhere, sora was looking in max's room. His room had a large bed and a full-length mirror. On the dresser she found Tai's dog tags from the future. Then under a shirt on the dresser, was a picture but not just any picture; in it was max on the shoulders of tai, who was older and a lot more ripped, and next to him was sora, whose hair was a little longer and older.
" Whatcha looking at?"
Sora quickly turned to see Tai standing in the door way smiling.
" Hey, what happened to the game?"
" Well let's just say the day I beat that kid, is the day the dark masters come back."
" Well I was just looking at this picture I found in here."
Tai looked at the picture and whistled.
" It's nice to see I don't lose my looks."
" Yeah but I look old."
" No, sor. And from the looks of this picture you gain little something too."
" TAI!"
" What! I can't help it if you got some junk in your trunk."
" I do not!"
The two old friends laughed like they use to before she started to date matt. The two locked eyes and both saw something in each other's eyes that they both longed for.
" Tai I have something to tell you."
" What?"
" That I-I..."
" HEY GUYS!"
The two broke their trance as Sam's head popped in the room.
" What is it sam?" asked Tai.
" There's something on TV you gotta see."
Tai and sora sighed as they followed sam to the living room. There keke and the twins were glue to the screen as they watch a news report. The scene was somewhere downtown, police and swat teams were shooting at something behind as they to cover behind cars. The reporter suddenly appeared on camera.
" We are here live in downtown odiba where state and local officials are trying to contain the situation. A mysterious individual with power unlike any thing we've seen has just appeared here and began to destroy building and cars. Some speculate that he could be one of the creatures known as digimon but he seems to be human. Let's see if we can get a shot of him."
The camera was then aimed over the car they were hiding behind and pointed it at the figure and to the surprise of everyone in the room was the digital warlord, who saw the camera and grabbed at super speed.
" Attention digi-wimps! You have 20 minutes to meet here and face or else odiba will be known as the city with the world's largest packing lot." And with that he destroyed the camera. They all stood in silence until the phone rang, which sam picked it up.
" Hello. Yeah, we saw. Ok, we'll be there." And he hung up the phone.
" Guys, that was izzy. He and the others saw it and will meet us there. Tike, kara, I want you to fly Tai and sora to their homes and get agumon and biyomon, and meet us downtown."
" Right." They said as Tai got on tike's back and sora did the same with kara and flew off.
Max flew for what seemed like hours. He didn't know where he was but he had a good idea. Max then came to a jagged canyon with cliffs as he looked around.
" Damn. Where is he? For a guy as big as he is, he sure can hide."
" HEY! I RESENT THAT!"
Max suddenly stopped in mid-air as he looked around.
" Who said that?"
"WHY I DID, OF COURSE."
Max looked up and to his amazement was the huge and wise azulogmon. Max was in awe; he had heard of this legendary digimon but he never thought he was this huge.
" WORD ON THE STREET IS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ME?"
" I am. My name is-"
" MAX KAMIYA, SON OF THE BEARERS OF COURAGE AND LOVE. YES I KNOW ABOUT YOU AND YOUR POWER."
" That's why I why came to see you. I have this power but I have no idea what it is and how I got it." He said as he landed on a cliff.
" I SEE. I THINK I CAN HELP YOU BUT FIRST, TRANSFROM."
" What?"
" I WANT TO SEE THIS POWER FIRST HAND."
" Ok." And with that, max powered-up and transformed. The mega leaned forward and looked at max carefully.
" HMMM. I SEE. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD NEVER SEE IT IN MY LIFETIME BUT HERE IT IS."
" What?"
" THIS POWER IS SOMETHING I HAVE HEARD OF BUT NEVER FELT. YOU SEE, ALL LIFE, FROM HUMANS AND TO DIGIMON HAVE A FORCE IN THEM. THEY DON'T FEEL IT BUT IT IS THERE. IT'S WHAT WE CALL THE GOLDEN RADIANCE."
" My dad told me about it from the incident with the ghost of wizardmon but they never really found it what it was."
" THAT'S BECAUSE AT THE TIME, NONE OF THEM WERE PHYICALLY OR MENTALLY READY TO HANDLE THE POWER. YOUR AUNT HELD THE POWER FOR A TIME BUT NEVER HAD IT LONG."
" I know. The incident in machinedramon's caves with the numemon."
" YES. I SEE YOU KEEP UP WITH FAMILY HISTORY. THIS POWER IS WHAT ALLOWS HUMAN TO GROW AND DIGIMON TO DIGIVOVLE. AND NOW THE POWERS THAT BE HAVE BLESSED YOU WITH THIS POWER AT IT'S FULL. NOW MAX IN THIS FORM, YOU ARE AN ASCENDANT, A PERSON WHO HAS ASCENDED BEYOND DIGIMON AND HUMAN."
" Ascendant. I like it."
" YES. ALL BEINGS BORN IN THE DIGITAL WORLD CAN TAP INTO THIS."
" Anyone? Ever my team?"
" GIVEN ENOUGH TIME AND TRAINING, YES."
" But what about my dad?"
" HE WAS GIVEN THE POWER TO SHOW YOU WAY NOW YOU MUST SHOW THEM THE WAY."
" Thanks."
" ONE MORE THING; YOU'VE ONLY TAPPED INTO PART OF YOUR POWER. I CAN RELEASE PART OF IT BUT THE REST IS ON YOUR OWN. TAKE THIS CORE. BREAK IT AND IT WILL UNLOCK SOME OF YOUR POWERS. NOW HURRY, YOUR FRIENDS NEED YOU."
" Thanks, azulogmon. I will."
Max then pocketed the core and took off. As he left, a familiar old man appeared next to him.
" Didn't I tell you old friend?"
" YES HIS POWERFUL BUT WILL HE BE READY IN TIME."
" He will. I stake my life on it."
" Where are they? Beating up on cops was fun for the first 10 sec." Said the warlord as he sat on a pile of cars in the middle of a once busy street. Suddenly, his prayers were answered as sam and keke landed in the street followed by the twins and Tai, sora, Wargreymon and garudamon. On the other side of him, matt, metal garurumon, TK, cody, shakouamon, Kari, yolei, Slyphmon, davis, ken, imperildramon, Joe, zudomon, izzy, mega kabutarimon, mimi, and Lillymon landed and met the others as they all turned their attention to the source of all the trouble.
" Hey! Hey! The gang's all here! Wait a minute! Where's your son, tai?"
" In his skin."
" Funny. Remind me to kill me last. Anyway, last time we met, you idiots embarrassed me in front of my men so I've decide that your enjoyment factor has ended."
" So you called us here to fight? That's cool because I been wanting to kick your ass." Said tike.
" Yes, but first..." he said as he threw four black orbs at which flew straight at the d3s' d-vices and on impact, turned them black.
" Hey what the fuck did you do?"
" Those orbs contained a computer virus and it has infected those handy devices, preventing you from magna digivolving EVER!"
" So what? We can still beat you."
" Maybe, but I've decided to stop with you guy." He said as he went down to one knee.
" NOW YOU WILL FEEL THE FULL WRATH OF THE POWERS OF DARKNESS!!"
As he said this, the ground began to shake violently as the sky began to turn black. The ground began to crack around him and formed a carter just Kari grabbed her head in pain as TK grabbed so she wouldn't fall.
" Kari, what's wrong?"
" It's the darkness. I-I can f-feel it."
" But how? I thought all the portals to the dark ocean were closed." Said Davis.
" Oh, yeah!? Well what the fuck do you call that?!" said tike as he pointed to the sky. Everyone looked up to see a portal in the sky, which lead to the dark ocean. Dark electricity flowed from the portal like blood from an open wound. The energy began to combine and struck the warlord, causing him to roar intensity as high wind followed and he erupted in a horrible light.
" What?" said max as he stopped in mid-air.
" That's a serious power on earth. I guess the warlord decided not to pussyfoot around. I hope this core from azulogmon works or we're in some deep shit."
The digidestined and the d3s uncovered their eyes as the light died down and the sky cleared up. As they looked around, they were shocked to see that all but the mega digimon had returned to the in-training level.
" AHH! What happened?"
" I happened." Said a dark deep voice. They all turned to the carter just in time to see a very different warlord arise. He was very tall at least 7ft and he had more muscles. His cape was gone and spikes were on his shoulders, wrist, and shins. His helmet and mouthpiece seemed to have fused with his skin. The group began to shake in fear as he walked toward them.
" Like the new look? It is my transformed stage. And trust me, it is as powerful as it looks. So, who's first?"
His answer came as sam charged him with a punch but he dodged it but sam followed up with a spin kick but the warlord blocked it and punches him in the face. Keke rushed up and began to kick at high speed but each kick was blocked or dodged and the warlord punched her in the stomach, dropping her. Metal garurumon fired his missiles as the warlord dodged them with ease and fired his own blast at him, sending the mega crashing into a building. Wargreymon fired his terra force and caught him in the back. He staggered forward a bit but turned and smiled as he flew up and planted a fist into his gut, followed by an ax hammer to the head, sending him to the ground. The digidestined ran to their respective digimon.
" If that's all you got, then-OOF!" was all he got out as the twin finally jumped, with tike attacking high and kara attacking low. Both attacked with fist flying, while the warlord was too surprised to block or dodge them. The twins then kicked him into a construction site. Imperildramon, in fighter mode, appeared behind them."
" My turn."
POSITRON CANNON
The blast destroyed the site and shook the ground as the fighters on the ground began to get up. The three in the air cheered but it was short lived as in the jumble of rocks, the warlord rose with his arms crossed and floated up to the level of the fighters.
" Well, well. That was a pretty nice you three did. You gave me a headache. You'll have to do better."
" Well, in that case, I guess I'll just have to SERVE IT UP!" said tike as he flew at him.
" TIKE! NO!" said his sister as she went after him.
Just as he was about reach his opponent, a huge white ball of energy appeared before him. As the tike looked on in awe, the light from it died down and human features could be seen and the ones on the ground saw it as well.
" What is it?" asked Mimi.
" It's-it's max!" said keke.
" He's back!" said Tai.
" I knew he would come." Added sora.
Sure enough it was max, in his ascendant form.
" Max!"
" Whassup, tike."
" Not good. The warlord powered up and whooped all our Asses."
" That him?"
" Yeah."
Max looked over to the warlord and smiled.
" Go help the others."
" But what about you?"
" I'm gonna go talk to him for a minute." And with that, tike and the others flew down to the ones on the ground as max faced the warlord.
" So this is your fill power, huh? I hope you can back up all that talk?"
" Not only can I back it up, but I can shove it up your ass."
" Well, we'll see in a minute."
" So how do you wanna do this; ground or air?"
" I'm a ground kinda guy. Ground it is."
Both then floated down to the street as the destined gave them plenty of room.
" How do you want your body done; air, sea, burial, cremation?"
" I don't care. You decide." Max said as he began to stretch.
" Let's go."
" Just bring it."
NEXT TIME: max vs. the warlord (again). Plus what is the master project? And who is the digital warlord? Both answers will shock you.
CH. 16 "THE FACE OF EVIL"
MA: can't talk. Too ill.
Later ficcers
(Looks around to half the digidestined laid out all over the place. He looked in the bathroom to see blackWargreymon vomiting in the toilet.)
BW: ohh. What the hell did I drink last night?
MA: I warned you: digimon and tequila don't mix.
(Walked into the bedroom and saw Tai and sora, nude and on the bed.)
MA: WHAT THE FUCK?!
TAI: will you keep it down? Sora is very tired. She had a long night.
MA: aww, man! I can't believe you two did that in my bed. Damn! Well since everyone is either out cold or reliving the food they ate last so I'll do the disclaimer: I don't own digimon or dbz. So while I get everyone up, on with the fic.
D3: FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE
CH.15 "THE OTHERS"
Morning, The most peaceful time of day. My parents taught me to appreciate this time for it was one of the many things we did together. But now, with my hidden power out in the open, the mornings seem more peaceful.
" Let's see...where is it? Ah! Here it is." Said Tai. Tai and the others had gotten the address of the d3s after the battle at the complex.

" Sora, hey."
" Tai, what are you doing here?"
" Well since max gave me his address I wanted to swing by. What about you?"
" I was in the neighbor and I was bored."
" Yeah. Well shall we, my lady?" he said as he opened the door.
" Thank you, sir." She said as she entered followed by a smiling Tai. The two rode the elevator to the 16th floor and got off. They made their way to room 45 and knocked. The door opened to reveal sam.
" Hey guys. Come on in."
They entered in to the apartment and heard munching and slurping.
" Hey sam. What is that sound?" asked Tai.
Sam simply pointed his finger to the dinning room. Tai and sora looked over to see the twins eating their breakfast like two pigs, grunting and slurping. Both digidestined shuddered as they watched.

" Can we go up?"
" Sure. Just take the stairs to the right."
" Ok. Thanks." And with that they left, leaving him with the twins.
Tai and sora open the door to the roof to find keke sitting on a chair, with a smile on her face.
" Yo, kek. Where's max?"
She answers by pointing forward. Max was doing tai chi with his eyes closed. His movements were smooth, slow, and fluid. As he was doing this, a flock of birds began to gather around him and his audience.

" Go friends. You don't need to be here for this."
Max then planted his feet a good space apart and began to concentrate. Almost immediately, max's hair erupted into gold and his eyes turn green. He leaped into the air and began to punch and kick at high speed. He then began to move in and out of sight, by which he was moving to fast to be seen. He then landed in front of the trio and turned back to normal and grabbed a towel.
" Hey guys. Got anything to eat?"
" Master, you shouldn't go out like this."
" NO! Tai and sora's little bastard hurt me. HURT ME! I can't let that go unpunished."
" Sir, at least have some back up. I shall call."
" NO, DAMN IT! I want to kill that bastard on my own."
" But sir, the master project is set for a week from today. You can't risk injury soon close to the due date."
" It doesn't matter. I must have my revenge." He said as he and snivmon left the control room, unknown to the both of them, a black clad figure jumped down to the floor and walked over to the control board.
" Master project, huh? We'll just see about this." He said as he began to type.
" How long will you be gone?" asked keke. Max had just finished dressing in his future outfit. He had also finished a meal so big, that even the twins were left speechless. Apparently, transforming burns a lot of energy and he needs a lot of food. Tai and sora then came into the room.
" Where are you going man?" said Tai.
" I'm heading to see azulogmon and see if he can tell me anything about my powers and if I can harness it more."
" Are you sure he can help?"
" From what I heard from Davis and the others, he's supposed to know everything."
" How long will it take?"
" As long as it takes. Well I got to go. See ya!" and with that, max pointed his palm to the computer and disappeared.
" I hope you get back soon max. I got a bad feeling something gonna go down."
The morning commute to work was for some uneventful but today it would be different. A driver heading down the street was force to stop as an oddly dressed figure appeared in the middle of the street.
" HEY, get out of the street you jerk!"
The figure turned to the car and pointed his finger to the car and fired a beam of light at it. The driver had no idea what happened until his car split in two. Three police officers were nearby and saw what happened and drew their guns.
" Sir you are under arrest! Put your hands up!"
" As you wish." He said as he raised his arm to them and fired an energy blast at them. The blast destroyed a car behind them. His eyes then false red, causing the cop's guns to explode in their hands. The cops ran for back up as the figure insanely when a small winged digimon appeared from behind him.
" Master is this is wise, coming out in the open like this?"
" Yes. Sometimes the direct approach is the best approach. The digi-wimps will see me on the news destroying the city and come to stop me. Then I will take my revenge. Now that building is hurting my eyes. Time for some urban renewal."
Meanwhile, Tai and tike were playing SNK VS. CAPCOM and Tai was losing horribly for the tenth time in the last hour.
" Awe man! How did I lose to you?"
" Hey when it comes to fighting, I'm the champ."
Elsewhere, sora was looking in max's room. His room had a large bed and a full-length mirror. On the dresser she found Tai's dog tags from the future. Then under a shirt on the dresser, was a picture but not just any picture; in it was max on the shoulders of tai, who was older and a lot more ripped, and next to him was sora, whose hair was a little longer and older.
" Whatcha looking at?"
Sora quickly turned to see Tai standing in the door way smiling.
" Hey, what happened to the game?"
" Well let's just say the day I beat that kid, is the day the dark masters come back."
" Well I was just looking at this picture I found in here."
Tai looked at the picture and whistled.
" It's nice to see I don't lose my looks."
" Yeah but I look old."
" No, sor. And from the looks of this picture you gain little something too."
" TAI!"
" What! I can't help it if you got some junk in your trunk."
" I do not!"
The two old friends laughed like they use to before she started to date matt. The two locked eyes and both saw something in each other's eyes that they both longed for.
" Tai I have something to tell you."
" What?"
" That I-I..."
" HEY GUYS!"
The two broke their trance as Sam's head popped in the room.
" What is it sam?" asked Tai.
" There's something on TV you gotta see."
Tai and sora sighed as they followed sam to the living room. There keke and the twins were glue to the screen as they watch a news report. The scene was somewhere downtown, police and swat teams were shooting at something behind as they to cover behind cars. The reporter suddenly appeared on camera.
" We are here live in downtown odiba where state and local officials are trying to contain the situation.

" Hello. Yeah, we saw. Ok, we'll be there." And he hung up the phone.
" Guys, that was izzy. He and the others saw it and will meet us there. Tike, kara, I want you to fly Tai and sora to their homes and get agumon and biyomon, and meet us downtown."
" Right." They said as Tai got on tike's back and sora did the same with kara and flew off.
Max flew for what seemed like hours. He didn't know where he was but he had a good idea. Max then came to a jagged canyon with cliffs as he looked around.
" Damn. Where is he? For a guy as big as he is, he sure can hide."
" HEY! I RESENT THAT!"
Max suddenly stopped in mid-air as he looked around.
" Who said that?"
"WHY I DID, OF COURSE."
Max looked up and to his amazement was the huge and wise azulogmon. Max was in awe; he had heard of this legendary digimon but he never thought he was this huge.
" WORD ON THE STREET IS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ME?"
" I am. My name is-"
" MAX KAMIYA, SON OF THE BEARERS OF COURAGE AND LOVE. YES I KNOW ABOUT YOU AND YOUR POWER."
" That's why I why came to see you. I have this power but I have no idea what it is and how I got it." He said as he landed on a cliff.
" I SEE. I THINK I CAN HELP YOU BUT FIRST, TRANSFROM."
" What?"
" I WANT TO SEE THIS POWER FIRST HAND."
" Ok." And with that, max powered-up and transformed. The mega leaned forward and looked at max carefully.
" HMMM. I SEE. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD NEVER SEE IT IN MY LIFETIME BUT HERE IT IS."
" What?"
" THIS POWER IS SOMETHING I HAVE HEARD OF BUT NEVER FELT. YOU SEE, ALL LIFE, FROM HUMANS AND TO DIGIMON HAVE A FORCE IN THEM. THEY DON'T FEEL IT BUT IT IS THERE. IT'S WHAT WE CALL THE GOLDEN RADIANCE."
" My dad told me about it from the incident with the ghost of wizardmon but they never really found it what it was."
" THAT'S BECAUSE AT THE TIME, NONE OF THEM WERE PHYICALLY OR MENTALLY READY TO HANDLE THE POWER. YOUR AUNT HELD THE POWER FOR A TIME BUT NEVER HAD IT LONG."
" I know. The incident in machinedramon's caves with the numemon."
" YES. I SEE YOU KEEP UP WITH FAMILY HISTORY. THIS POWER IS WHAT ALLOWS HUMAN TO GROW AND DIGIMON TO DIGIVOVLE. AND NOW THE POWERS THAT BE HAVE BLESSED YOU WITH THIS POWER AT IT'S FULL. NOW MAX IN THIS FORM, YOU ARE AN ASCENDANT, A PERSON WHO HAS ASCENDED BEYOND DIGIMON AND HUMAN."
" Ascendant. I like it."
" YES. ALL BEINGS BORN IN THE DIGITAL WORLD CAN TAP INTO THIS."
" Anyone? Ever my team?"
" GIVEN ENOUGH TIME AND TRAINING, YES."
" But what about my dad?"
" HE WAS GIVEN THE POWER TO SHOW YOU WAY NOW YOU MUST SHOW THEM THE WAY."
" Thanks."
" ONE MORE THING; YOU'VE ONLY TAPPED INTO PART OF YOUR POWER. I CAN RELEASE PART OF IT BUT THE REST IS ON YOUR OWN. TAKE THIS CORE. BREAK IT AND IT WILL UNLOCK SOME OF YOUR POWERS. NOW HURRY, YOUR FRIENDS NEED YOU."
" Thanks, azulogmon. I will."
Max then pocketed the core and took off. As he left, a familiar old man appeared next to him.
" Didn't I tell you old friend?"
" YES HIS POWERFUL BUT WILL HE BE READY IN TIME."
" He will. I stake my life on it."
" Where are they? Beating up on cops was fun for the first 10 sec." Said the warlord as he sat on a pile of cars in the middle of a once busy street. Suddenly, his prayers were answered as sam and keke landed in the street followed by the twins and Tai, sora, Wargreymon and garudamon. On the other side of him, matt, metal garurumon, TK, cody, shakouamon, Kari, yolei, Slyphmon, davis, ken, imperildramon, Joe, zudomon, izzy, mega kabutarimon, mimi, and Lillymon landed and met the others as they all turned their attention to the source of all the trouble.
" Hey! Hey! The gang's all here! Wait a minute! Where's your son, tai?"
" In his skin."
" Funny. Remind me to kill me last. Anyway, last time we met, you idiots embarrassed me in front of my men so I've decide that your enjoyment factor has ended."
" So you called us here to fight? That's cool because I been wanting to kick your ass." Said tike.
" Yes, but first..." he said as he threw four black orbs at which flew straight at the d3s' d-vices and on impact, turned them black.
" Hey what the fuck did you do?"
" Those orbs contained a computer virus and it has infected those handy devices, preventing you from magna digivolving EVER!"
" So what? We can still beat you."
" Maybe, but I've decided to stop with you guy." He said as he went down to one knee.
" NOW YOU WILL FEEL THE FULL WRATH OF THE POWERS OF DARKNESS!!"
As he said this, the ground began to shake violently as the sky began to turn black. The ground began to crack around him and formed a carter just Kari grabbed her head in pain as TK grabbed so she wouldn't fall.
" Kari, what's wrong?"
" It's the darkness. I-I can f-feel it."
" But how? I thought all the portals to the dark ocean were closed." Said Davis.
" Oh, yeah!? Well what the fuck do you call that?!" said tike as he pointed to the sky. Everyone looked up to see a portal in the sky, which lead to the dark ocean. Dark electricity flowed from the portal like blood from an open wound. The energy began to combine and struck the warlord, causing him to roar intensity as high wind followed and he erupted in a horrible light.
" What?" said max as he stopped in mid-air.
" That's a serious power on earth. I guess the warlord decided not to pussyfoot around. I hope this core from azulogmon works or we're in some deep shit."
The digidestined and the d3s uncovered their eyes as the light died down and the sky cleared up. As they looked around, they were shocked to see that all but the mega digimon had returned to the in-training level.
" AHH! What happened?"
" I happened." Said a dark deep voice. They all turned to the carter just in time to see a very different warlord arise. He was very tall at least 7ft and he had more muscles. His cape was gone and spikes were on his shoulders, wrist, and shins. His helmet and mouthpiece seemed to have fused with his skin. The group began to shake in fear as he walked toward them.
" Like the new look? It is my transformed stage. And trust me, it is as powerful as it looks. So, who's first?"
His answer came as sam charged him with a punch but he dodged it but sam followed up with a spin kick but the warlord blocked it and punches him in the face. Keke rushed up and began to kick at high speed but each kick was blocked or dodged and the warlord punched her in the stomach, dropping her. Metal garurumon fired his missiles as the warlord dodged them with ease and fired his own blast at him, sending the mega crashing into a building. Wargreymon fired his terra force and caught him in the back. He staggered forward a bit but turned and smiled as he flew up and planted a fist into his gut, followed by an ax hammer to the head, sending him to the ground. The digidestined ran to their respective digimon.
" If that's all you got, then-OOF!" was all he got out as the twin finally jumped, with tike attacking high and kara attacking low. Both attacked with fist flying, while the warlord was too surprised to block or dodge them. The twins then kicked him into a construction site. Imperildramon, in fighter mode, appeared behind them."
" My turn."
POSITRON CANNON
The blast destroyed the site and shook the ground as the fighters on the ground began to get up. The three in the air cheered but it was short lived as in the jumble of rocks, the warlord rose with his arms crossed and floated up to the level of the fighters.
" Well, well. That was a pretty nice you three did. You gave me a headache. You'll have to do better."
" Well, in that case, I guess I'll just have to SERVE IT UP!" said tike as he flew at him.
" TIKE! NO!" said his sister as she went after him.
Just as he was about reach his opponent, a huge white ball of energy appeared before him. As the tike looked on in awe, the light from it died down and human features could be seen and the ones on the ground saw it as well.
" What is it?" asked Mimi.
" It's-it's max!" said keke.
" He's back!" said Tai.
" I knew he would come." Added sora.
Sure enough it was max, in his ascendant form.
" Max!"
" Whassup, tike."
" Not good. The warlord powered up and whooped all our Asses."
" That him?"
" Yeah."
Max looked over to the warlord and smiled.
" Go help the others."
" But what about you?"
" I'm gonna go talk to him for a minute." And with that, tike and the others flew down to the ones on the ground as max faced the warlord.
" So this is your fill power, huh? I hope you can back up all that talk?"
" Not only can I back it up, but I can shove it up your ass."
" Well, we'll see in a minute."
" So how do you wanna do this; ground or air?"
" I'm a ground kinda guy. Ground it is."
Both then floated down to the street as the destined gave them plenty of room.
" How do you want your body done; air, sea, burial, cremation?"
" I don't care. You decide." Max said as he began to stretch.
" Let's go."
" Just bring it."
NEXT TIME: max vs. the warlord (again). Plus what is the master project? And who is the digital warlord? Both answers will shock you.
