MA: hey peoples. The end is near!
Rika: you've been saying that for the last few chapters! It's fricking annoying!
MA: sorry. But I'm in a dilemma; what song should I play for the final scene, 'in the end' or 'hero'?
Max: I don't know man.
Tai: I'd take linkin park.
Takato: I'd got for Chad Kroger.
MA: tell me what you think. I've done the disclaimer enough for you to get the idea. Now on with fic.
D3: THE TRUE THREAT
UNTHINKABLE
" Where does it hurt?"
" Around the big bloody spot."
" I'll get the Neosporin. Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, NEO! Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, SPORIN!" master ting helping ling's father.
No one said anything. No one even breathed as they watched buumon grin. Unlike the other forms, this one seemed different, almost brainless but evil.
" What do you think?" asked sam.
" I don't know." Answered max.
" He doesn't look so tough." Remarked kazu.
" I don't think so." Said pikkan.
" Just because he's small doesn't mean he's weak. I've seen a all of his forms but this one, this one sends chills even up my spine." He said that sent a pang of fear most of their hearts. Suddenly, buumon fired two eye beams at them, causing most to duck out of the way.
" Hey! Is everyone alright?" yelled Tai.
" Yeah we're ok." Said takato.
" Ditto here!" answered TK.
" Sorry everyone."
They all turned and to theirs, and Jeri's, pikkan stood there, with two gapping, bloody holes in his right shoulder and in side.
" He... got...me!" he gasped as he collapsed. Jeri got under him, trying to keep him up. Leomon jumped to her aid by helping him up and on to his shoulder.
" Don't worry, jeri. I've got him."
Before they could even retaliate, a low evil laugh began to sound out and soon got louder than even. Buumon cackled loudly as he put his palm to the sky and a pink energy ball formed.
" You bastard!" yell tike as he fired his attack at him but before it hit, it stopped and entered the ball, causing it to grow.
PYRO-SPHERE
DIAMOND STORM
BUNNY BLAST
The three attacks followed the same path as tike's as they joined the ball.
" What the hell?!" exclaimed Henry as the ball continued to grow, despite the fact that no one was attacking him.
" HE'S NOT SERIOUS!!" yelled BW, as the ball was now unbelievably huge.
" I don't you about you guys, but think we should get out of here!" exclaimed kenta, gripping marine Angemon.
" You're right! Any body that can fly, hit the skies! Every one else grab on to someone who can!" max ordered as they took flight; tike and kara took TK and Kari, keke had both mat and mimi hanging by her arms, David had susie on his back, sam had izzy and doc, the tamers and their digimon packed on to guardromon, tai of course had sora, and BW held a barely conscious pikkan. With a laugh, buumon threw the massive power ball at the group as the flew away at high speed. The ball ripped up the ground as it pursued them.
" Crap! I'm gonna take it out!" said tike as he use to free hand to fire.
" No! It's too powerful! It'll take us out when it blows!" yelled max, causing tike to concentrate on flying while the ball got closer.
" Max, we can't keep flying forever! It's going to catch us!" said keke.
" Wait! I have an idea!" said Simms.
" Lopmon! Where exactly did you and Susie get here?! I need the location!"
" About a half a mile north of where buumon's house is!"
" Thanks! Everyone follow me!" he said flying in the direction of buumon's old house while everyone follow. After passing the ruins of the house, he looked ahead with a smile
That's it! We're here!
" Alright, listen to me everyone; when I tell you to, grab each other towards the front and then, max, BW, I want you two to grab my arms!"
" And what's that's suppose to accomplish?"
" Don't question me!" he yelled as the back flyers joined hands towards max and BW.
" NOW!"
Max and BW grabbed his arms and the whole group vanished just as the ball detonated.
" I wonder where rika and the others are." Said ryo as he and cyberdramon hung out near the playground in the park.
" Do you honestly think rika likes you? What about takato?" asked his digimon.
" Takato's a weakling! Rika needs someone who strong like me."
Suddenly, a loud boom rung out in the park and seemed to have come from the playground.
" Come on! Let's go!" said ryo as he and his digimon ran over. To their surprise, there, sprawled on the ground and playground equipment was the group, groaning and struggling to their feet.
" Didn't I just get over an hang over once to today?" said takato.
" Damn! Simms what did you do?" asked matt.
" It's a phasing technique. I had to find the rift that brought Susie and Lopmon to your digital world. I hoped it hadn't closed so I could teleport us through it but I've never done it with so many people before." He said, leaning against the slide.
" Man, rika. You look like hell!" remarked ryo.
" You don't know what is." she said as she got up.
" But why are we here, Simms?" asked Kari.
" Because we wont have survived the blast. Buumon put too much energy in the attack." Answered max.
" What are you saying?" asked Mimi.
" The digital world you know is gone. Buumon destroyed it!"
Every one gasped in horror at what the high one said as they tried to grasp the unthinkable: not any of their pass enemies were even close to destroying the digital world but this pink beast had not only wiped out all the digimon but their world as well. Doc went over to pikkan and saw that he was bleeding purple blood.
" Hey guys. I'm sorry the digital world is gone but we have to get pikkan some where I can check on him."
" Cool. My house is just a few blocks from here." Said rika.
" Let's go." Max agreed.
" Where have y'all been and who are these people?" asked ryo.
" It's a long story." Said Henry.
"...... And that's the whole story up to now." Henry finished. The tamers had called all their parents to tell them they would be ok. Takato and Henry's folks came over to check on them as well as Jeri's. Everyone were all doing different things all over the house; takato and rika had fallen asleep with their heads on each other, much to delight of their folks, renamon was asleep in a animal like position on BW's lap as he had a hand on her head, the twins and David were in an eating contest with guilmon, terriermon and Lopmon as keke did the cooking, tai and sora were in another room as she gave him a well needed massage, TK, Kari matt, and mimi were learning to playing the card game from kazu and kenta, doc was in another room with pikkan as jeri and leomon watch, yamaki and izzy while sam decided to help rika's grandmother with her internet problems, and max sat with his eyes close, no one knowing if he was asleep or awake.
" Well that sounds like hell. I'm sorry you had to go through It." said Henry's father.
" Hell would have been nicer. I don't even remember anything after I got absorbed."
" Now what will you do?" asked yamaki.
" I don't know. We just have to think about It." said Simms, just as doc emerged from the room.
" So how is he?" asked Henry.
" I patched him up as best I could but I don't know that much about alterian physiology. But I think he'll pull through."
" Well, at least buumon's gone. That's the good news." Added kazu as he played.
" Umm, rika?" asked her mom.
" Hmmm?" she groaned as she woke, still with her head on takato's.
" Are there anymore in your group?"
" No. Why?"
She said nothing else as she pointed to the door where there stood shinmon and kibitomon.
" Master." Said Simms as the two walked in.
" I heard about the others."
" Yes. Their sacrifice will be remembered." He said.
" Who's he?" asked janyu.
" Well remember when I said there was a whole universe of digimon? Well, he's sort of the god of all digimon. He's called the supreme digi-deity." Explained Henry.
" Well welcome, you highness or your digi-ness." Said Henry's mother.
" Please just call me shinmon. Where is everyone?"
" They're around." Answered max.
" Could you call them in?"
" Ok shinmon what is it? I mean buumon's dead, right?" asked Tai as all eyes where on shinmon.
" I'm afraid not. He's still alive."
They all gasped at the new in disbelief.
" No way! He destroyed himself when he blew up the planet." Said sam.
" He survived! I was afraid this might happen."
" What?"
" You see, the form that buumon was in when you last saw him, is his original form. When buumon was created, he was force to be reckoned with. The circle could barely control him in this form. That all changed when he landed on central planet. At the time there were hundreds of high ones like Simms, all different and some very strong but when buumon came, many of them died. Some didn't even last a minute before buumon killed them. One of them stood up to him. His name was Zachary and he was as powerful as tike. The two battled hard for half an hour until he absorbed him, forming majin buumon. One by one they died until only five remained; jean, Russell, Otto, Simms, and the strongest of all high ones, William. He held him off for a while but he too was absorbed but something happened. You see, William was very portly and he loved sweets so when he became a part of buumon, his personality mellowed out his super destructive nature and turned him into the simple child like buumon you first encountered."
" So what happened?" asked takato.
" When you separated him from the 'fat' buumon and all the others from his mind, he had no choice but revert back to his first form, his most powerful form."
" Can't we reason with him like last time?" asked sam.
" No. This buumon is not interested in fight a good fight, or eating candy. All he thinks is one thing; destroy everything. Observe." He said as he produced his orb. They all gather around it as a small blue world appeared.
" This is liqus, arqamon's home world."
Just as he said this, the planet was destroyed in a flash of light. As the orbs went on, every planet it shows was soon destroyed.
" Where's buumon now?"
The orb glowed and came onto the surface of planet; it was filled with Greek style building surround by forest. It would have been beautiful to watch if it wasn't on fire. Buumon stood in the middle of the chaos, laughing insanely over the bodies of dead fighters.
" What planet is that?" asked Tai.
" That planet....."
They all turned to see pikkan, with jeri supporting him, standing in the doorway. He limped over to the orb and looked.
" That planet is alter prime; my home world."
Suddenly, an old man appeared in front of buumon; he wore blue jean pants with a matching vest, brown boots and gloves, long white hair and a white bread and sunglasses. He dashed at buumon and met him in fist-to-fist warfare. He jumped back and fired a burst at him but buumon batted it away. He assaulted the old man with his fist and pile drove him into the ground. He struggled up with all his might but buumon looked at him with a smile and blasted him into dust. Laughing, he destroyed the rest of the planet with ease. Pikkan collapsed to his knees and, for the first time since any of them knew him, he cried.
" Pikkan, who was the old man?" asked max.
" He was the grand one, the most powerful alterian of us all, the leader of the Alterian Empire and.....................my father!"
Everyone, especially max, now understood why he cried. Pikkan had always been a serious fighter, showing little to now emotion but now, to see him weep openly, was heart breaking.
" Don't worry. We'll make him pay for...."
" You don't get it do you?! My father was, at his weakest, as strong as max is at ascendant 3 and he was beaten by that son of a bitch like he was nothing! We can't win!" he sobbed as jeri held him.
" Guys you gotta come see this!" exclaimed izzy from outside.
" Iz, what is it?" yelled Tai.
" You gotta see this for yourselves!"
Every one filed out of the house on to the lawn and looked at the sky to horrible sight; black clouds filled the sky so much that it blocked out the sun, radical lightening struck buildings, and multiple twisters behind to form.
" Rain?" asked guilmon.
" No guilmon. It's the beginning." Said shinmon.
" The beginning of what?" asked David.
" The beginning of the end. The digital universe has always been in balance with all the human world but now that buumon is destroying the digital universe, the balance is breaking apart."
" What will happen?" asked janyu.
" This will happen to all of the human realms. Every kind of natural disaster you can think of; tornado, hurricanes, blizzards, tsunamis, storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fault shifts. All of them will happen with no end in sight. Soon dimension rifts will open, with digimon flooding through but it won't matter because after that, this world and all the other human worlds will literally self-destruct. It will be the end of humans and digimon every where!"
" Isn't there any way to stop it?" asked keke.
" The damage can be repaired but only if buumon is defeated and, as pikkan has said, no of you is strong enough to defeat him. Oh, max if you had stayed with us and kept training, you would have reached you full evolution but now, there is no time."
The entire group was crest fallen as the sky blackened and the earth began to tremble. Doc, on the other hand, seemed to be in deep thought over what shinmon said about max and that's when his face brighten up.
" I'VE GOT IT!" he yelled as they all turned to him.
" What is it?" asked izzy.
" I've got an idea! Listen everyone! Give me your digi-vices!"
" But why?" asked matt.
" No time to explain! Just put them in my shirt!"
The destined and the tamers did as he asked, placing their d-vices into his shirt.
" Izzy, get my computer and tools! Mr. Lee, I'll need your help as well!" he said heading back into the house.
" Doc, what are you trying to do?" asked max.
" Trying to make a miracle!"
Janyu and izzy typed away as doc soldered together the d-vices.
" Do really think this will work?" asked the old man.
" No, but we need every idea we can get."
" Besides, we've got nothing left to lose."
" What do you think they are doing in there?" wondered rika.
" I don't know but experience has taught us that when doc has an idea, let him run with It." answered TK.
" Why thank you TK."
They turned to the house to see janyu, izzy, and doc exit. Doc held a black harness made of all the tamers and digidestined's digi-vices.
" What did you do?" asked ryo.
" I made a little gift for max." answered doc as he held it out for max.
" Me?"
" I got the idea from what shinmon said early; your full evolution. I wondered what he meant by that and that's when I had idea."
" I don't get it."
" Let me explain; digimon evolution through many levels of power called digivolution. Every digimon goes through these levels when they get enough energy. As you know, these levels are in training, rookie, champion, ultimate, and mega. I never thought too much into it until I applied to max. Max is, for all purposes, is part digimon and as such is capable to going through these levels."
" But max has never digi-volved." Said keke.
" Who says he hasn't already? Think about it; out of all of us, seven have the power to achieve the level of ascendant but max is the only one who has been able to tap into more levels of power than the rest. That's because he has been digivolving, in his own way. This form his in right now, is his in-training level. When his father died, he was pushed to the level of ascendant or his rookie level. When blackWargreymon died the first time, he went to the next level or champion. During his training with shinmon, he reached ascendant 3 or ultimate."
" Wait a minute! You're saying that I have a mega level?"
" Yep and if I'm right, it should put you on equal to buumon."
" But what's our digi-vices got to do with it?" asked kenta.
" The digi-vices channel digital energy direly to the digimon, allowing them to digivolve. By combining the powers of them in this harness, it will, in essences, wrap digivolve you to your mega form."
" Sounds good but I know there's a dark side to it."
" Ok. I've done the research and no being, digimon, human, or otherwise, has been exposed to this kind of concentrated amount of digital energy. One of two things will happen; one, you'll wrap digivolve to mega or two, the power will be too much for your body to handle and you'll be deleted. Are sure you wanna take that risk?"
His answer came as max grabbed the harness and strapped it on.
" Are you sure?"
Max looked around into his friend's eyes'; many had worry, and the others had an encouragement but all had hope in them. He looked up and saw the rifts begin to open.
" It looks like I'm the only one who can fight so I don't have a choice. How do I turn it on?"
" Just power up a little. Good luck my friend."
Max took a deep breath and powered up when suddenly all the digi-vices lit up and max was caught inside a pillar of white power.
The pain! Burning!
The teen howled in agony, as he was forced down to a knee.
" Max!" said keke as she reached for him but doc stopped him.
" No! If you touch him now, the power will burn off to you and delete you! Max has to do this, alone."
She looked in worry as max underwent the procedure.
The pain! Too much! I can't handle it!
No. I can't give in. too......many.....counting......on me.
Must..... Make the pain...... a part of.........me. Use it!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
MAX WARP DIGI-VOLVE TO------
The digi-vice around absorbed into him. Suddenly, he transformed into his ascendant form, then to his next stage, and then to ascendant 3. Just then, his clothes vanished off of him, and were replaced with yellow pants, green cuffs, and red shoes. He muscles bulged out as his upper body was being partly covered by dark red fur. His long golden hair turned black and his green eyes turned red with black out lines. Finally, he grew out a large monkey-like tail.
ASCENDANT 4 MAX
" All stay here. Buumon's mine!" he said as he took off into one of the rift at an amazing speed.
" Good luck, max. I love you."
NEXT TIME: playtime is over! No more game! No more warms ups! These two are just gonna duke it out to the bitter end.
MAX'S FINAL FIGHT
MA: well, I did some editing but I guarantee this is a fight to remember with the entire digi-verse as the battleground.
LATER FICCERS!
Rika: you've been saying that for the last few chapters! It's fricking annoying!
MA: sorry. But I'm in a dilemma; what song should I play for the final scene, 'in the end' or 'hero'?
Max: I don't know man.
Tai: I'd take linkin park.
Takato: I'd got for Chad Kroger.
MA: tell me what you think. I've done the disclaimer enough for you to get the idea. Now on with fic.
D3: THE TRUE THREAT

" Where does it hurt?"
" Around the big bloody spot."
" I'll get the Neosporin. Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, NEO! Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, SPORIN!" master ting helping ling's father.
No one said anything. No one even breathed as they watched buumon grin. Unlike the other forms, this one seemed different, almost brainless but evil.

" Don't worry, jeri. I've got him."
Before they could even retaliate, a low evil laugh began to sound out and soon got louder than even. Buumon cackled loudly as he put his palm to the sky and a pink energy ball formed.
" You bastard!" yell tike as he fired his attack at him but before it hit, it stopped and entered the ball, causing it to grow.
PYRO-SPHERE

The three attacks followed the same path as tike's as they joined the ball.
" What the hell?!" exclaimed Henry as the ball continued to grow, despite the fact that no one was attacking him.
" HE'S NOT SERIOUS!!" yelled BW, as the ball was now unbelievably huge.
" I don't you about you guys, but think we should get out of here!" exclaimed kenta, gripping marine Angemon.
" You're right! Any body that can fly, hit the skies! Every one else grab on to someone who can!" max ordered as they took flight; tike and kara took TK and Kari, keke had both mat and mimi hanging by her arms, David had susie on his back, sam had izzy and doc, the tamers and their digimon packed on to guardromon, tai of course had sora, and BW held a barely conscious pikkan. With a laugh, buumon threw the massive power ball at the group as the flew away at high speed. The ball ripped up the ground as it pursued them.
" Crap! I'm gonna take it out!" said tike as he use to free hand to fire.
" No! It's too powerful! It'll take us out when it blows!" yelled max, causing tike to concentrate on flying while the ball got closer.
" Max, we can't keep flying forever! It's going to catch us!" said keke.
" Wait! I have an idea!" said Simms.
" Lopmon! Where exactly did you and Susie get here?! I need the location!"
" About a half a mile north of where buumon's house is!"
" Thanks! Everyone follow me!" he said flying in the direction of buumon's old house while everyone follow. After passing the ruins of the house, he looked ahead with a smile
That's it! We're here!
" Alright, listen to me everyone; when I tell you to, grab each other towards the front and then, max, BW, I want you two to grab my arms!"
" And what's that's suppose to accomplish?"
" Don't question me!" he yelled as the back flyers joined hands towards max and BW.
" NOW!"
Max and BW grabbed his arms and the whole group vanished just as the ball detonated.
" I wonder where rika and the others are." Said ryo as he and cyberdramon hung out near the playground in the park.
" Do you honestly think rika likes you? What about takato?" asked his digimon.
" Takato's a weakling! Rika needs someone who strong like me."
Suddenly, a loud boom rung out in the park and seemed to have come from the playground.
" Come on! Let's go!" said ryo as he and his digimon ran over. To their surprise, there, sprawled on the ground and playground equipment was the group, groaning and struggling to their feet.
" Didn't I just get over an hang over once to today?" said takato.
" Damn! Simms what did you do?" asked matt.
" It's a phasing technique. I had to find the rift that brought Susie and Lopmon to your digital world. I hoped it hadn't closed so I could teleport us through it but I've never done it with so many people before." He said, leaning against the slide.
" Man, rika. You look like hell!" remarked ryo.
" You don't know what is." she said as she got up.
" But why are we here, Simms?" asked Kari.
" Because we wont have survived the blast. Buumon put too much energy in the attack." Answered max.
" What are you saying?" asked Mimi.
" The digital world you know is gone. Buumon destroyed it!"
Every one gasped in horror at what the high one said as they tried to grasp the unthinkable: not any of their pass enemies were even close to destroying the digital world but this pink beast had not only wiped out all the digimon but their world as well.

Takato and Henry's folks came over to check on them as well as Jeri's. Everyone were all doing different things all over the house; takato and rika had fallen asleep with their heads on each other, much to delight of their folks, renamon was asleep in a animal like position on BW's lap as he had a hand on her head, the twins and David were in an eating contest with guilmon, terriermon and Lopmon as keke did the cooking, tai and sora were in another room as she gave him a well needed massage, TK, Kari matt, and mimi were learning to playing the card game from kazu and kenta, doc was in another room with pikkan as jeri and leomon watch, yamaki and izzy while sam decided to help rika's grandmother with her internet problems, and max sat with his eyes close, no one knowing if he was asleep or awake.
" Well that sounds like hell. I'm sorry you had to go through It." said Henry's father.
" Hell would have been nicer. I don't even remember anything after I got absorbed."
" Now what will you do?" asked yamaki.
" I don't know. We just have to think about It." said Simms, just as doc emerged from the room.
" So how is he?" asked Henry.
" I patched him up as best I could but I don't know that much about alterian physiology. But I think he'll pull through."
" Well, at least buumon's gone. That's the good news." Added kazu as he played.
" Umm, rika?" asked her mom.
" Hmmm?" she groaned as she woke, still with her head on takato's.
" Are there anymore in your group?"
" No. Why?"
She said nothing else as she pointed to the door where there stood shinmon and kibitomon.
" Master." Said Simms as the two walked in.
" I heard about the others."
" Yes. Their sacrifice will be remembered." He said.
" Who's he?" asked janyu.
" Well remember when I said there was a whole universe of digimon? Well, he's sort of the god of all digimon. He's called the supreme digi-deity." Explained Henry.

" They're around." Answered max.
" Could you call them in?"
" Ok shinmon what is it? I mean buumon's dead, right?" asked Tai as all eyes where on shinmon.
" I'm afraid not. He's still alive."
They all gasped at the new in disbelief.
" No way! He destroyed himself when he blew up the planet." Said sam.
" He survived! I was afraid this might happen."
" What?"

" So what happened?" asked takato.
" When you separated him from the 'fat' buumon and all the others from his mind, he had no choice but revert back to his first form, his most powerful form."
" Can't we reason with him like last time?" asked sam.
" No. This buumon is not interested in fight a good fight, or eating candy. All he thinks is one thing; destroy everything. Observe." He said as he produced his orb. They all gather around it as a small blue world appeared.
" This is liqus, arqamon's home world."
Just as he said this, the planet was destroyed in a flash of light. As the orbs went on, every planet it shows was soon destroyed.

" What planet is that?" asked Tai.
" That planet....."
They all turned to see pikkan, with jeri supporting him, standing in the doorway. He limped over to the orb and looked.
" That planet is alter prime; my home world."
Suddenly, an old man appeared in front of buumon; he wore blue jean pants with a matching vest, brown boots and gloves, long white hair and a white bread and sunglasses. He dashed at buumon and met him in fist-to-fist warfare. He jumped back and fired a burst at him but buumon batted it away. He assaulted the old man with his fist and pile drove him into the ground. He struggled up with all his might but buumon looked at him with a smile and blasted him into dust. Laughing, he destroyed the rest of the planet with ease. Pikkan collapsed to his knees and, for the first time since any of them knew him, he cried.
" Pikkan, who was the old man?" asked max.
" He was the grand one, the most powerful alterian of us all, the leader of the Alterian Empire and.....................my father!"
Everyone, especially max, now understood why he cried. Pikkan had always been a serious fighter, showing little to now emotion but now, to see him weep openly, was heart breaking.
" Don't worry. We'll make him pay for...."
" You don't get it do you?! My father was, at his weakest, as strong as max is at ascendant 3 and he was beaten by that son of a bitch like he was nothing! We can't win!" he sobbed as jeri held him.
" Guys you gotta come see this!" exclaimed izzy from outside.
" Iz, what is it?" yelled Tai.
" You gotta see this for yourselves!"
Every one filed out of the house on to the lawn and looked at the sky to horrible sight; black clouds filled the sky so much that it blocked out the sun, radical lightening struck buildings, and multiple twisters behind to form.
" Rain?" asked guilmon.
" No guilmon. It's the beginning." Said shinmon.
" The beginning of what?" asked David.
" The beginning of the end. The digital universe has always been in balance with all the human world but now that buumon is destroying the digital universe, the balance is breaking apart."
" What will happen?" asked janyu.
" This will happen to all of the human realms. Every kind of natural disaster you can think of; tornado, hurricanes, blizzards, tsunamis, storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fault shifts. All of them will happen with no end in sight. Soon dimension rifts will open, with digimon flooding through but it won't matter because after that, this world and all the other human worlds will literally self-destruct. It will be the end of humans and digimon every where!"
" Isn't there any way to stop it?" asked keke.
" The damage can be repaired but only if buumon is defeated and, as pikkan has said, no of you is strong enough to defeat him. Oh, max if you had stayed with us and kept training, you would have reached you full evolution but now, there is no time."
The entire group was crest fallen as the sky blackened and the earth began to tremble. Doc, on the other hand, seemed to be in deep thought over what shinmon said about max and that's when his face brighten up.
" I'VE GOT IT!" he yelled as they all turned to him.
" What is it?" asked izzy.
" I've got an idea! Listen everyone! Give me your digi-vices!"
" But why?" asked matt.
" No time to explain! Just put them in my shirt!"
The destined and the tamers did as he asked, placing their d-vices into his shirt.
" Izzy, get my computer and tools! Mr. Lee, I'll need your help as well!" he said heading back into the house.
" Doc, what are you trying to do?" asked max.
" Trying to make a miracle!"
Janyu and izzy typed away as doc soldered together the d-vices.
" Do really think this will work?" asked the old man.
" No, but we need every idea we can get."
" Besides, we've got nothing left to lose."
" What do you think they are doing in there?" wondered rika.
" I don't know but experience has taught us that when doc has an idea, let him run with It." answered TK.
" Why thank you TK."
They turned to the house to see janyu, izzy, and doc exit. Doc held a black harness made of all the tamers and digidestined's digi-vices.
" What did you do?" asked ryo.
" I made a little gift for max." answered doc as he held it out for max.
" Me?"
" I got the idea from what shinmon said early; your full evolution. I wondered what he meant by that and that's when I had idea."
" I don't get it."
" Let me explain; digimon evolution through many levels of power called digivolution. Every digimon goes through these levels when they get enough energy. As you know, these levels are in training, rookie, champion, ultimate, and mega. I never thought too much into it until I applied to max. Max is, for all purposes, is part digimon and as such is capable to going through these levels."
" But max has never digi-volved." Said keke.
" Who says he hasn't already? Think about it; out of all of us, seven have the power to achieve the level of ascendant but max is the only one who has been able to tap into more levels of power than the rest. That's because he has been digivolving, in his own way. This form his in right now, is his in-training level. When his father died, he was pushed to the level of ascendant or his rookie level. When blackWargreymon died the first time, he went to the next level or champion. During his training with shinmon, he reached ascendant 3 or ultimate."
" Wait a minute! You're saying that I have a mega level?"
" Yep and if I'm right, it should put you on equal to buumon."
" But what's our digi-vices got to do with it?" asked kenta.
" The digi-vices channel digital energy direly to the digimon, allowing them to digivolve. By combining the powers of them in this harness, it will, in essences, wrap digivolve you to your mega form."
" Sounds good but I know there's a dark side to it."
" Ok. I've done the research and no being, digimon, human, or otherwise, has been exposed to this kind of concentrated amount of digital energy. One of two things will happen; one, you'll wrap digivolve to mega or two, the power will be too much for your body to handle and you'll be deleted. Are sure you wanna take that risk?"
His answer came as max grabbed the harness and strapped it on.
" Are you sure?"
Max looked around into his friend's eyes'; many had worry, and the others had an encouragement but all had hope in them. He looked up and saw the rifts begin to open.
" It looks like I'm the only one who can fight so I don't have a choice. How do I turn it on?"
" Just power up a little. Good luck my friend."
Max took a deep breath and powered up when suddenly all the digi-vices lit up and max was caught inside a pillar of white power.
The pain! Burning!
The teen howled in agony, as he was forced down to a knee.
" Max!" said keke as she reached for him but doc stopped him.
" No! If you touch him now, the power will burn off to you and delete you! Max has to do this, alone."
She looked in worry as max underwent the procedure.
The pain! Too much! I can't handle it!
No. I can't give in. too......many.....counting......on me.
Must..... Make the pain...... a part of.........me. Use it!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
MAX WARP DIGI-VOLVE TO------
The digi-vice around absorbed into him. Suddenly, he transformed into his ascendant form, then to his next stage, and then to ascendant 3. Just then, his clothes vanished off of him, and were replaced with yellow pants, green cuffs, and red shoes. He muscles bulged out as his upper body was being partly covered by dark red fur. His long golden hair turned black and his green eyes turned red with black out lines. Finally, he grew out a large monkey-like tail.
ASCENDANT 4 MAX
" All stay here. Buumon's mine!" he said as he took off into one of the rift at an amazing speed.
" Good luck, max. I love you."
NEXT TIME: playtime is over! No more game! No more warms ups! These two are just gonna duke it out to the bitter end.
MAX'S FINAL FIGHT
MA: well, I did some editing but I guarantee this is a fight to remember with the entire digi-verse as the battleground.
LATER FICCERS!
