DIGIMON: THE RETURN OF THE DIGITAL WARLORD
THE WARLORD'S LAST BREATHE









The onlookers and the warlord stood on in awe at the new being that stood in the place of gallantmon, that seemed to be both guilmon and takato but at the same time was nether. Suddenly, Henry's d-vice went off and was now receiving data.


DA: guilkatomon; a fusion level digimon, the combined form of guilmon and takato. Attacks; hazard wave and spark explosion.


" What's up with that?" asked kenta.

" Yeah, what happen to the both of them?" also wondered jeri.

" It can't be! He did it! He really did it!" said a completely stunned X.

" You know what's happened?" asked ryo.

" I have an idea; while inside gallantmon, takato powered up to max and some how used Guilmon's energy to piggy back his power. The ascendant power must have fused them together."

" Like gallantmon?" asked rika.

" No. This is fusion; their minds, feelings, personalities, thoughts are melded together into a whole new person. He was right, he's both yet nether of them but that's not all."

" What else is there?"

" Notice his hair?"

" Yeah. He's gonna need a heck of lot of hair stray!"

" Terriermon!"

" I've seen it before but I can't remember where." Whispered renamon to X.

" Yes. You have." He whispered back.

" As I told before, there are many levels to the power of the ascendant; the one takato achieved two weeks ago was the basic level. The one he got to after he 'died' was ascendant 2. This one right now is one of the most powerful forms called ascendant 3."

" Ascendant 3?" asked kenta.

" It's something like a digimon going to ultimate. It's a very hard level to reach and only two people have ever gotten to this stage of power."

" Wow! So guilkatomon can win!" cheered jeri.

" I hope so."








Guilkatomon? Can you hear me?

Of course I can, X. I am part takato.

Right. But do you have any idea of the power you've got?

All I know is that I'm stronger than that ass up there.

True, your power is great but you have at least 30 minutes before you power back down. I don't know how long your fusion will last but your power is something I do know about.

Fine. 30 minutes is gonna be all the time I need.











" What? No laughs? No jokes? I thought you'd be happy to get a decent." The fused fighter said as he floated into the sky, level to the warlord.

" I know what you're thinking; am I more guilmon or more takato? Well, let's just say, I'm the best of both worlds."
The warlord was too stunned to speak. He had faced many enemies but never had fought against a perfect fusion of digimon and human into one body.

" H-h-how?"

" Speak up. I can't hear you."

" How did you do this?"

" Oh I don't know. Maybe it was a freak accident, or takato and guilmon wanted to fight more closely. But does it matter? Not to me it doesn't, for you see, you're chances of ruling this world have not only gone out the window, but ran down the street to it's best friends' house and is hiding in the closet. So if you're ready, come get some."

" Oh I will."
The warlord vanished once again, now using his super speed but guilkatomon didn't seem worried at all. He casually put his forearm up, just a blow impacted it. He raised his knee and another blow hit it. He then punched wildly, getting a groan of something. After a few second, the pained face of the warlord reappeared into view, with guilkatomon's fist planted square in his cheek. The warlord flew back, rubbing his face to relieve the pain.

" Come on! That was so slow, even a kid could see you. Wanna see some speed?"
Before he could blink, another fist found his face again, leaving a bruise on him.

" Now that was speed!"
The warlord was in complete disbelief; in his last form, he could barely put up a fight but now, his speed and strength have increased at an unbelievable rate. Suddenly, the sick grin of his crept onto his face along with a low chuckle.

" What's so funny?"

" Well, whoever you are, true, your power has increased greatly but it is still no match for my power."

" Oh really? So you're saying that you've been playing with me? Funny, didn't seem like it."

" Joke all you want because, now I unleash all my powers!"

" Whatever floats your boat. Listen, can you hurry this up? I'm getting hungry and I would like to tear into some bread."

" He defiantly part guilmon." Remarked terriermon.

" This world dies now!" he roared as a white aura surrounded him, signaling the beginning of his power up. As he screamed, lightening filled the sky, some striking him while high winds blew around them.

" Aww crap! This is it man! We're done for!" screamed kazu as he and the others battled to stay on their feet.

" I don't think so." Said rika.

" Why do you say that?" asked Mrs. Matsuki.

" I can't explain it but I feel something about takato. I don't think he's worried about this, and he isn't worried then we shouldn't be as well."

" Wait rika. How can you be so..." ryo started to say until rika shot a look to him that could kill cancer, causing all the boys to put up their hands in defeat.

" You're right rika. Of course he'll win."

" I don't know who's worse, the warlord or rika." said Henry.
But what she said was right because as the warlord's power began to rise, the smile on the fused fighter's face never left him. It was as if he wasn't afraid of the warlord's power. Just then, his muscle began to bulge out to double the size they once were but guilkatomon didn't seem to mind. His muscles weren't the only things that changed; his face was more demonic and beastly in appearance.

" Now you will see my power!"

" Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just bring it."

In a flash, he advanced on him with a punch to his face and followed up with a couple of quick jabs to his gut. He kicked across the sky and knocked on to the ground, impacting the ground with cloud of dust around. The warlord created a ki ball in his hand and launched right into the ground. The resulting explosion was felt all over town. The warlord powered back down as he looked over his work.

" Took longer than I thought. I guess he was all talk."
As the dust settled, the figure of guilkatomon was visible, standing up and unhurt. The digimon/human hybrid looked up at the now surprised warlord as he cracked his neck.

" Sorry about that. This is a new body so I kinda needed some time to get used to it. But good job my friend. You are almost as strong as I am."
With out warning, he shot up like a bullet into the sky and fiercely punched the warlord in the jaw.

" Almost."
Angered, the warlord powered back up to his buffed form and engaged guilkatomon in fist-to-fist attacks. Meanwhile jeri and kazu's partners finally arrived on the scene.

" Leomon, what are you doing here?" asked his tamers.

" We could sense the battle raging so we decide to lend a hand."

" Speak for yourself. I had to watch it on TV. So what's been happening?" spoke guardromon.

" Well, in a nutshell, takato reappeared with super powers, rika's came back half dead, the warlord killed takato, the dude from g-gundam brought him back, takato got beat and he and guilmon fused into some kind of super powered being." Kazu explained as he attempted to catch his breathe.

" Now that is something." The metal digimon said as the group's attention returned to the battle going high in the sky. Both of the combatants trade punch for punch, kick for kick, block for block.

" Unbelievable! After all that, they both equally matched." Said renamon.

" Renamon, you're not paying attention. Look again."

Renamon looked at every detail of the fight and finally saw what X was talking about; the warlord was only able to dodge or block about half of the hit while he was unable to land even one hit.

" I see now. Guilkatomon is in complete control."

" Yes but he playing around too much."


Guilkatomon easily pounded on the fully powered warlord, ending his assault with a double kick to his chest. The warlord stopped himself but found that his face was bruised and he was missing a few teeth.

" That was a nice warm up but let's stop playing and get down to business."

" What are you talking about?"

" What? You mean that this is it? This is the limit of your power? That's pathetic! That's worse than pathetic! That makes pathetic look good!" guilkatomon laughed at the revelation while the warlord seethed with rage. Outraged, he cupped his hands to his side, preparing to launch his attack.







TSUNAMI WAVE




The huge wave approached him; he didn't seem worried or made any dodging moves. He put his hands forward, grabbing the beam. Struggling a little, he pushed the wave back in to the sky, exploding in the air as it got too high.

" That was nice but let me show you something."

Mimicking his pose, guilkatomon cupped his hands to his side but instead of blue, the energy in his palms was golden. A yellow light enveloped his entire body while the hazard sigh began to flash on his jacket.





HAZARD WAVE







The insanely huge wave of golden energy erupted out of his hands and right to the warlord. Think he could hold it, he put his hands up to stop it but he found himself swallowed by its energy. He pulled back, casing the beam to shoot into the sky with its unwilling passenger and with one last tug; it blew up with a mass of golden light.

" Did he do it?" wondered ryo.

" No. He's hurt and pissed but he's still alive." Answered X. guilkatomon searched the skies for his foe. Soon he felt a strange rise in power.


Oh no! That bastard!



" Guilkatomon! Stop him! He's gonna blow us all up!" X yelled to the fighter.

" Not on my watch!" he roared, flying straight up with a golden trail of light following him. As he reached the upper atmosphere, he found the warlord; both of his wings were gone, his armor was chipped and cracked, and one of his top half points were gone. But this wasn't what guilkatomon cared about as above him, he was creating a large mass of black energy.

" I can't lose! Not to you! Not again! If I can't rule this world then no one can!"

" You know I can't let that happen."

" I know you won't but you can't stop me now!"

" Fine. If I die, I'm taking you with me!"
The hazard sign once again start to glow as arks of energy flowed from the symbol, down his arms and on to his hands. He formed a fist with one hand and opened his palm with the other, both sporting the hazard symbol.

" All right. We settle things right now!" he said, his hands glowing with power.

" Fine! Then you will be the first to die!"

" Just throw the damn thing!"

" You know it's funny. I really did care about rika and I would have made her a true queen of digimon but she had to care about a stupid weakling like takato. Too bad that bitch must die with the rest of them."

" I am part of takato and he's knows that if you really cared about her, you wouldn't have almost killed her. So do your worst. Oh and one more thing?"

" What?"

" Rika is not a BITCH!"

" WELL THEN, YOU TAKE IT BITCH!"

With that, the warlord threw the massive ball of dark energy at the fused fighter. It was slow but still powerful enough to wipe the earth and make guilkatomon its first victim. In response, he swung his arms back and ready to use his most powerful technique.





SPARK EXPLOSION




With that, he smashed his fist and palm together, creating an explosion of light that collided with dark ball. Both energy forces fought with each other for control with the warlord laughing like the madman he was. In the blast zone, guilkatomon knew of only one way to save the earth.


Mom, dad, kazu, kenta, jeri, Henry, I do this for you all. Especially you, rika.




Focusing all his energy, he unleashed a sudden rush of power to boost his attack. The blast swallowed the Black Death sphere and expanded out in all directions and at the warlord.

" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!!!"
And with those last words, the warlord was finally disintegrated and defeated at last. The explosion lit up the skies all over the world, tidal waves shot up on all the costal cities and gale force winds blew. When ordeal ended, the group of tamers, takato parents, and X watched the sky.

" Is it over?" asked kenta.

" Yes. I don't sense him any more." Answered X.

" What about guilkatomon?" asked Henry.

" I-I doesn't know."
This was not an answer that they wanted to hear since many of them were on the verge of tears. Rika still really couldn't accept the pain of what happened. Ryo attempted to comfort her but then, X saw something in the air.

" Everyone, look!"

Up in the sky, everyone saw two bright streaking objects falling down and towards the park. Without a word, rika looked at renamon and the digimon know what she wanted.





RENAMON DIGIVOLVE TO----KYUBIMON




Rika climbed on the champion digimon and the both of them took off towards the park.

" Where is she going?" asked Mr. Matsuki.

" She is going to meet him." X said as he jumped up and vanished.

Meanwhile rika and kyubimon raced to the impact site, hoping that they were both ok. When they arrived, they found two massive craters in the ground. Rika, still weakened, climbed down of the digimon and ran to the first crater. Inside, half buried was guilmon, covered in wounds and blood.

" I've got him. Go check on takato." Renamon said, after returning back to rookie. Rika nodded and ran to the second hole. Takato lay inside the hole, his clothes ripped to sheds, and covered his wounds. Rika slid down the incline and check on him. She drug his injured body up the incline and on to the grass. She put his head in her lap and moved a few strains of hair out of his face. Takato slowly opened his left eye and smiled weakly at the sight before him; rika smiling and with tears in her eyes.

" Hey."

" Hey."

" Sorry for worrying you like that."

" Do it again and I'll beat you up."

" I don't know. That would feel really good right about now."

" Takato."

" I have something to tell you."

" Well, I'm not going any where so go."

" Listen, I know we haven't exactly started off on the right foot but right now, I don't think I can imagine my life without you. You were the first to reach to me, the first to care about me. When you tried get with jeri, I have to admit that I was jealous. She would have been lucky to get such a brave, caring, and handsome boy as a boy friend. When the warlord made his offer, the only reason I took because he said that he would kill you first and I could stand that because...............I love you, takato."

" I love you too, my queen."

" Well?"

" Well what?"

" I think this is the part where you suppose to kiss me."

" Well I have two problems; one, you might deck me if I do."

" You don't have to worry about that. And two?"

" And two, aside from my eye and my mouth, I can't move. I'm very numb, all over my body."

" Really? You can't feel a thing?"

" I don't know."

With that, rika bent down and kissed him lightly on the lips for a few seconds.

" Did you feel that?"

" I don't know. I think you may have to try again."

" Stupid gogglehead." Rika laughed as she and takato engaged in a deeper and longer kiss than before. Renamon, after helping guilmon out of the crater, looked over at the couple and smiled just when X appeared.

" Do you think we should stop them?" asked the fox.

" Give them a few minutes. When they come up for air."















NEXT TIME: life returns to normal for the tamers except for takato being an ascendant and dating rika. Plus, two old friends return to their loved ones and the identity and mission of X is revealed.
